You step off a Denver street into the low hum of a craft brewery: warm lights, clinking glasses and a long table dusted in semolina. Chef Joshua greets the group and you find your station—flour, water, a wooden board. The dough responds to pressure, folding and yielding to your thumbs as you learn the thumb-and-knife rhythm that shapes orecchiette. Steam from a nearby pot rises and the tomato-basil sauce fills the room, bright and insistent.
