Discover the Best Pasta Making Classes in Los Angeles

Pasta making is creating fresh pasta from scratch using a combination of simple ingredients, typically flour and eggs. Sometimes water, vegetable dyes, or other ingredients are also used. It involves mixing the ingredients to form a dough, which is then kneaded until smooth and elastic. The dough is then rolled into thin sheets and cut into various shapes, such as spaghetti, fettuccine, or ravioli. Finally, the pasta is cooked in boiling water until ‘al dente’ (toothsome firmness) and can be served with different sauces and toppings.
