Public Class: Southern Italian Pasta with Honey Grace Lopez

Take a hands-on journey to southern Italy with Honey Grace Lopez, who pursued her calling as a 'pastaia' through studies around the world. She will guide you step-by-step to make traditional pasta dough using only flour, water, and your own two hands. With her help, guests will create distinctive shapes from Italy's south: cavatelli, malloreddus, orecchiette, and more. Enjoy a tasting of your fresh pasta and tomato sauce as the class concludes.

What You’ll Take Home: 

• Two servings of handmade pasta to freeze or cook within 24 hours 
• A jar of class-made tomato sauce 
• Tips and techniques to continue creating fresh pasta at home
