Experience Details

Get ready for the ultimate slow-braised comfort food in this immersive cooking class with Chef Will. Hosted in a vibrant local venue, this class teaches you how to make traditional Italian pappardelle pasta by hand — no shortcuts, just flour, eggs, and tried-and-true techniques passed down through generations. You’ll roll and cut your noodles into wide, rustic ribbons perfect for catching every bit of sauce.


Then, dive into the magic of slow cooking as you help prepare an oxtail ragù that’s rich, bold, and fall-off-the-bone tender. With garlic, red pepper, carrots, and a silky braising liquid, you’ll learn the secrets to coaxing big flavor out of humble ingredients. Once the pasta meets the ragù, it’s a match made in culinary heaven.


Perfect for adventurous foodies, date nights, or travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path foodie experience, this class is all about mastering classic technique — and indulging in one unforgettable dish.

What You’ll Experience

Take your pasta night to the next level in this hands-on cooking class with Chef Will, where bold flavor meets traditional technique. You’ll start by learning how to craft fresh pappardelle noodles from scratch using semolina flour and eggs. Chef Will will guide you through the process of mixing, kneading and shaping your pasta into wide, tender ribbons perfect for holding rich sauces. Next, prepare a deeply flavorful oxtail ragù — slow-braised with garlic, carrots, red pepper, and aromatics in a rich, savory broth. You’ll learn techniques for building depth of flavor, working with tougher cuts of meat, and creating a braise that’s melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Once the pasta and sauce come together, you’ll plate up a hearty dish that’s as satisfying as anything you'd find in a rustic Italian trattoria.
