Learn the art of creating restaurant-quality ravioli from scratch in this hands-on class. You'll master the technique of making silky pasta dough, rolling it to the perfect thickness, and crafting traditional filled pasta pillows. We'll prepare a classic ricotta and spinach filling, plus explore creative variations like butternut squash sage and wild mushroom.

You'll practice proper sealing techniques to ensure your ravioli stay perfectly intact during cooking, and finish by learning to pair your handmade pasta with complimentary sauces—from simple brown butter to rich tomato cream. Leave with the skills and confidence to recreate this Italian staple at home, plus fresh ravioli to enjoy for dinner.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced home cook, you'll leave with practical skills, tested recipes, and the confidence to recreate an Italian feast in your own kitchen.
