About the event
Learn the centuries-old art of making fresh pasta from scratch with Keegan Rodgers, owner and pastry chef of The Lakehouse Bakery. This hands-on class demystifies pasta-making, taking you from basic ingredients to perfectly cooked noodles in just seven simple steps.
Discover the fascinating journey of pasta from ancient China to medieval Sicily to modern American kitchens, and explore the incredible variety of shapes—over 200 types can be made! You'll master the fundamental techniques: creating the perfect dough from semolina and eggs, kneading to satin-smooth perfection, proper resting times for gluten development, and rolling techniques for ideal thickness.
Learn to cut classic noodle shapes using pasta rollers, create filled pastas like ravioli with proper sealing techniques, and cook fresh pasta to al dente perfection in just 90 seconds. Keegan demonstrates both hand-rolling methods and machine techniques, covering essential accessories like pasta rollers, bench blades, and drying racks.
