In this four-day camp students will learn to make two fresh sauces, and two forms of fresh pasta from scratch. Day 1: Prepare standard pasta dough, and veggie pasta dough Day 2: Roll out and cut and shape fettuccini noodles and veggie farfalle (bowties) Day 3: Prepare fresh pesto sauce Day 4: Prepare homemade marinara sauce In this camp students will learn by doing. Our lessons will take us from raw ingredients through the rolling and cutting of the pasta, and the chopping and cooking of the sauces. We will review kitchen and food safety for the meeting, discuss ingredients, equipment and alternatives. I will demonstrate each step of the pasta making process in the Zoom classroom: asking questions and having discussions with students at each step. Students will be provided with the recipes through the Outschool discussion board for the class, and I will have the information in Google Slides throughout the class. This course provides the learner with the opportunities to learn new skills, and to prepare new recipes to share with their family. Students will build their confidence in the kitchen through the preparation of delicious homemade pasta in a supportive environment. Please note that this camp has recipes that contain the following ALLERGENS: GLUTEN in pasta (You can sub a one-for-one gluten free flour and xanthan gum) EGGS in pasta (You can sub ju.st, or work an egg free dough with just flour, water, and egg) PINE NUTS in pesto (depending on the allergy, you can sub another nut, or try a seed like pumpkin or sunflower) If you have any questions about other allergens that are not listed please message me for substitutions!
Learning Goals
Students will finish this class with confidence from the experience of creating four classic Italian-American recipes by hand that can be mixed and matched at home.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
This is a cooking course that involves the use of knives, an oven, and a stovetop. Because of the dangers involved parents must be present while their students are preparing food in case of accidents. Please see the ingredient list for each class for any allergies.
Supply List
Ingredients: A list with specific amounts of ingredients for the whole camp will be provided to all learners upon enrollment. Equipment: I HIGHLY recommend students have a pasta machine. I use a hand crank Norpro model that was about $30 on sale. A quick online search shows many options from $25-$80. Target currently has one listed for $25, Amazon has many choices as well. It is a small investment, but once you taste homemade pasta you will agree that the cost is worth it. (Especially when your child is doing the work!). *I recommend the flex version of this course for students without a pasta machine. I include a specific video in that course for using a rolling pin and a knife.* -- Day 1: 2 large bowls, or very clean countertop for mixing pastas (bowls make clean up easier!), measuring cups and spoons, small saucepan, plastic wrap, rubber scraper/spatula --Day 2: pasta you made on day 1, pasta machine, cookie sheet, extra flour

I am offering this class as a healthy introductory class for older students to begin cooking classic meals from scratch. I have been cooking, baking and feeding people my whole life. After having a heart transplant several years ago, I have committed to studying nutrition. My cooking focuses on foods that are whole, natural, and heart healthy for my family.Reviews
