The River Cottage Cooking Diploma: Next Level
Collection of 12 courses
Learn how to make pasta at home with River Cottage's Head Chef Steven Kiernan.
Whether you’re completely new to making homemade pasta or have been dabbling in the delicious art, Steven's love of making pasta and new pasta recipes will inspire you to make handmade pasta dishes.
Steven's pasta making course demonstrates different styles of pasta dough, where you’ll learn about different flours - why is ’00 favoured in Italy, how to source great local equivalents, what’s the most important element to look for when sourcing flour, plus the difference between stoneground or mill rolled flours when making your dough.
Steven will also guide you through using alternative flours, including wholegrain and how eggs, olive oil and water change the dough.
You'll then learn to roll your pasta dough by hand and using a machine. He’ll guide you through the pros and cons of each before showing you how to make different pasta shapes including spaghetti, pappardelle and farfalle.
You’ll also learn how to master ravioli and other filled pastas like tortellini, as well as different seasonal filled pasta and pasta sauce ideas.
This course has been approved by the Independent Cookery Schools Association (ICSA), recognising the highest standards of training.
Every student is different but in general we think the whole course will take around 14 hours 45 minutes to complete including:
Your lesson notes will include the full details of the ingredients you'll need, but you will be making pasta, so you'll need standard kitchen equipment. If you have a pasta machine then Steve will show you techniques to use it, but you can also complete the course by hand rolling your pasta dough.
Just add the course to your basket above - choose the 'Expert' option for personal feedback from Steven on your pasta.
