Homemade Pasta (in Slovenian)

Making pasta at home is much simpler—and more rewarding—than it might seem!

In our fast-paced lives, it’s easy to forget the value of homemade, carefully prepared meals. But making fresh pasta is not just about cooking—it’s a creative process. The possibilities are nearly endless: you can create doughs in different flavors and colors, shape pasta into a variety of forms, fill it with delicious fillings, and pair it with a wide range of sauces. In this workshop, we will learn the fundamentals of pasta-making, giving you the skills to recreate and adapt the process at home for your loved ones.

We will explore how to select the right flour for pasta dough and how to naturally color it using ingredients such as spinach and beetroot. From the prepared dough, we will shape three types of pasta: wide noodles, farfalle, and penne. We will also make tortellini as an introduction to filled pasta.

To complete the experience, we will discuss how to pair pasta with the right sauces and prepare three classics: a tomato sauce with fresh cheese, homemade basil pesto, and a simple cream sauce with bacon.
