Taught by Tina Ye
Tina Ye is an interaction designer turned home cooking enthusiast. She is the founder of Scratch House, a site that teaches you how to cook, one mission at a time. She believes cooking is a superpower—one that delights, inspires and connects us to one another—and her mission is to help you realize yours.
New to cooking? That doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. Fearless Cooking means learning frameworks, not recipes, so you can experiment and add your own creative flair.
Pasta—that loyal standby for tired people returning home from a long day of work—is easy to make, infinitely variable, and, most importantly, tasty. In this class we will learn a basic Pasta Framework that you can adapt to any number of taste preferences.
-
Each person will design their own “Signature Pasta” using the framework and fresh ingredients we have in class.
-
We’ll learn how to boil pasta perfectly (and what exactly this “al dente” business is all about).
-
We’ll each assemble our own pasta dishes, learning methods for bringing it all together.
-
We’ll have a big tasting party at the very end and share our creations.
By the time you leave class, you’ll have the confidence to put together your own weeknight dinners without a hitch—and say ciao to takeout for good!
