Fall Pasta From Scratch With Chef Ben

Celebrate the flavors of fall by learning to prepare fresh pasta and a rich seasonal sauce in this hands-on cooking class with Chef Ben.

Begin by making pasta dough from scratch using flour, eggs, olive oil and salt. Chef Ben will guide you through each stage of the process, from kneading and rolling the dough to shaping and cooking fresh pasta until perfectly tender. While the pasta cooks, you'll prepare a smooth pumpkin cream sauce with pumpkin purée, garlic, nutmeg, sage, butter, cream and Parmesan. Finish by combining the pasta with the sauce for a comforting Italian-inspired dish.

All ingredients, cooking equipment and professional tools are included, making it easy to focus on learning new techniques. Throughout the class, Chef Ben will share practical tips and culinary skills that you can use long after the experience ends.

Hosted at a local public venue in San Diego, with locations varying by date, this class welcomes participants of every skill level in a relaxed, social setting. Beer and wine are available for purchase from the venue during the event.
