There’s something wonderfully satisfying about making pasta from scratch — mixing, kneading, rolling, shaping and finally sitting down to eat what you’ve made.
This is a relaxed, hands-on workshop where you’ll learn the basic techniques for making fresh pasta and then put them into practice. Using our pasta and lasagna machines, ravioli moulds and cutters, we’ll work through the process from dough to plate.
What you’ll learn
No previous experience is needed. The workshop is about learning by doing, so expect to get your hands messy, make a few imperfect shapes and have fun along the way.
A hands-on pasta-making experience at Himalayan Orchard, with lunch, conversation and, naturally, plenty of pasta.
