What you'll do:

You'll spend three hands-on hours in Chef Matt's kitchen learning to make fresh pasta from scratch, rolling, shaping, saucing, and sitting down to eat everything you made.

• Mix and knead your dough – Start from raw ingredients and build the foundation of every pasta shape you'll make that night.

• Shape four styles of fresh pasta – Work through four classic forms, each one teaching a different technique and texture.

• Build three signature sauces – Learn how each sauce is intentionally matched to a specific pasta shape for balance and flavor.

• Snack on a chef-curated antipasto board – Graze while you cook so the evening stays relaxed and social from the start.

• Finish with house-made Italian dessert – Cap the night with a dessert Chef Matt prepares, giving the group a proper send-off.

By the end, your group has cooked a full Italian meal together, and the table you sit down to is entirely your own work.

Why we love it for your group:

• Private setting – Chef Matt comes to you or hosts in his own kitchen, so your group gets the full experience without sharing it with strangers.

• Fully guided from start to finish – No cooking experience needed; Chef Matt walks everyone through each step with the right amount of instruction and the right amount of fun.

• Everything is included – Ingredients, equipment, the antipasto board, and dessert are all taken care of, so your group just shows up.

• Naturally paced for groups – The three-hour format gives everyone time to learn, eat, and enjoy the evening without feeling rushed.

• Doubles as dinner – You're not just taking a class and going home hungry; the meal is built into the experience.
