Brianna HarrisonI stopped by my best friend’s place for dinner, and she served the most incredible pasta dish. Not just any pasta—this was fresh, homemade, and downright heavenly!
Of course, I had to know her secret, and guess what? She’s recently been taking a bunch of pasta-making classes in Toronto, where she learned to make everything—from silky fettuccine to pillowy ravioli.
If you’re ready to master fresh pasta (and maybe wow your own dinner guests), here are the best pasta-making classes in Toronto to check out!
