3hAbout this experience
Join us for this fun, hands-on class where we’ll learn to make hearty, Northern Italian style homemade pasta from scratch!
Chef Daniela de Chiara will show you everything you need to know about egg pasta: how to mix and knead the dough, roll it out, and form it into popular shapes like lasagna, pappardelle and tagliatelle. We're even going to get a little fancy and show you how to make spinach-infused pasta, the kind traditionally used for lasagna bolognese in Emilia Romagna! We'll also learn how to make two great sauces that pair perfectly with these types of pasta.
When we're done cooking, you'll be seated at a harvest table with fellow guests to enjoy the meal we've prepared together!

Your Host
Born and raised in Toronto with Pugliese roots, Chef Daniela has dedicated her career to Italian cuisine. From watching her nonna make focaccia Barese to her zias’ baking sweets, she fell in love with food even before the first bite!
Having excelled in the culinary arts and Italian postgraduate programs from George Brown College, Daniela went on to achieve the Accademia Italiana della Cucina scholarship. With more than 10 years experience in the Italian restaurants, Daniela has dedicated the last 6 years to making and teaching fresh handmade pasta.
Her dream is to open her own Pastificcio (pasta shop) to showcase her skills, offer the community her skillfully handmade pastas, and share her unique experiences as a female Italian-Canadian pastaia.
