PASTA SESSIONS

Join us for a week of pasta workshops designed for chefs and food enthusiasts eager to dive into Italian cuisine through hands-on creation.

For chefs who need to find their voice again. For food lovers who want to understand Italian cooking from the inside out. Hands in dough, history on the plate!

WHATS INCLUDED:

* Small-group pasta master classes for chefs and enthusiasts
* Mountain foraging and local artisan visits
* The full story of Italian pasta and how it shapes a new way to live — just ingredients, mindset, geography, seasons

PASTA IS A PHILOSOPHY, NOT A TECHNIQUE.

You cannot decide your shape before you decide your ingredients. The seasons dictate the pasta you'll make. The land dictates the sauce. The sauce dictates the shape. The shape dictates whether fresh or dried, egg or water, long or short, rough or smooth.

Your most important tool is your hands. Every dough responds differently to the temperature of your palms, the strength in your arms, the mood you bring to the bench. Pasta making is my body's reset. My morning release. The place where creativity flows and the noise stops.

CLIENT REVIEWS

“taking the course with Melina in February changed the course of my life!” “It was the one thing that i needed which took me from a passionate pasta maker, to a professional. Melina has a sixth sense about what each student needs, and she reels you in and inspires you to push yourself to your own personal next level. i learned from her all of the important techniques, history, and practices of pasta in Italy.......as well as becoming privy to the secrets only italians have known for centuries! Melina is a rare combination of a professional teacher and a warm friend for each student. I am now proud to be running my own business and thriving, doing what i love. Sometimes it takes more than a class....it takes Melina!!!”
