Culinary Workshop: Pasta 101 with Julie Morelli
Learn the fundamentals of fresh pasta from illustrator and life-long pasta maker, Julie Morelli. In this class, you will create flour + egg and flour + water doughs to be transformed into various shapes and paired with fresh sauces. We'll work with Granor-grown wheat and other specialty flours for a true from-the-field experience.

Our workshops are the most in-depth course we offer. Together the group will prepare multiple pasta-based dishes under the tutelage of Julie Morelli. Then we will come together as a group and enjoy the fruits of our labors as a sit down, family-style meal. The meal includes Granor Table Wine.

This class will be led by Chicago-based illustrator and pasta-making expert, Julie Morelli. Julie has spent 18 years creating food-inspired printed goods through her company, Nourishing Notes, and has recently begun sharing her extensive food knowledge through hands-on classes. We are thrilled to host her at Granor as our first guest instructor!
Students arrive to a glass of sparkling wine and snacks then partner up with their fellow classmates to prepare several pasta-based family style dishes with demonstration and support of Julie Morelli.
After all of the dishes are prepared, students sit together for a meal tasting the fruits of their labors and asking any remaining cooking questions. Meals feature Granor Table Wine.
Students leave with full bellies, complete digital and printed recipes, and a hands on knowledge of each dish as well as a slew of kitchen tips and techniques to take to their own kitchen.
