We had the pleasure of hosting Chef Dana at our home for the pasta-making lesson. It was fantastic! Chef Dana walked us through the pasta making process from scratch. She taught us about dough consistency and rolling techniques. We learned how to make the authentic sauces and had a great time. I highly recommend Chef Dana.
