Springtime is upon us and with that, peas, asparagus, rhubarb, lighter fare, I could go on and on! But I’ll just say HOMEMADE RAVIOLI. Have you always wanted to learn how to make pasta like a pro? This class can help you do it! I’ve rolled out miles of sheets of pasta in my career and I’ve learned the tips and tricks to make it as easy and delicious as possible! Sign up for this class and your family will wonder which restaurant catered your dinner!

MENU:
**Sweet Pea and Ricotta Ravioli**

If you always wanted to learn to cook, but never had the opportunity to go to cooking school, now’s your chance!

Learn in-person and hands-on in a small setting then take home the food to feed your family! It’s a great way to have some fun, learn to cook and get dinner on the table!

What you get DURING class:
–You will prep all the food for your meal, on your own station with your own tools.
–Snacks and drinks are provided.
–You will sample a serving of each dish so you know what they should taste like (aka: you won’t leave hungry!)
–I’ll show you how to finish the meal at home so you can recreate the same restaurant quality dishes for your family.
–I do ALL the cleanup (aka: NO DISHES! Some say that’s the best part…)

What you take with you AFTER class:
