Learn the foundations of fresh pasta and sauce-making in this fun cooking class at a local brewery in Washington D.C. In this class, Chef Bemnet breaks down two essential Italian staples: handmade fettuccine and marinara sauce. Start by preparing a rich tomato sauce with garlic, basil and olive oil, learning how to balance acidity and flavor while building a solid sauce base. Then, mix, knead and cut fresh pasta from scratch, mastering techniques that help create tender, well-structured noodles. Once your pasta is cooked, toss it directly into the marinara sauce and finish with Parmesan for a simple but deeply satisfying Italian meal you’ll want to recreate at home.

What To Expect

Set in a trendy local brewery in Washington D.C., this hands-on pasta-making class pairs fresh fettuccine with a lively craft beer atmosphere. This interactive cooking experience with Chef Bemnet teaches you how to build a classic marinara sauce from scratch using olive oil, garlic, basil and tomatoes. You’ll learn how to gently cook garlic to bring out its sweetness and build deep flavor without overpowering the sauce. Then, make fresh fettuccine by hand, mixing flour, eggs, olive oil and sea salt into a dough before rolling and cutting it into silky ribbons. Chef Bemnet will guide you through the key techniques for texture, timing and doneness before finishing the pasta directly in the sauce for maximum flavor.
