Learn to make traditional orecchiette by hand in a lively 2-hour class hosted at a local Denver brewery. Chef-led, beginner-friendly, and focused on practical technique you can replicate at home.
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.

Orecchiette originates in southern Italy, where durum wheat semolina has long defined texture and bite. Here in Denver, that old-world grain meets a young-city food culture—brewery spaces repurposed for hands-on classes, local produce swapped in for market-fresh flavor. The class sits at the intersection of cultural tradition and Denver’s craft movement: learn a regional technique while sipping into the city’s social, communal dining scene.
Expect a two-hour, beginner-friendly lesson: mixing dough, mastering the “ear” shape, boiling, and finishing with a simple tomato, basil and ricotta sauce. The format is practical—small demonstrations, guided practice, then a shared meal of what you made. Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes, plan to arrive 10 minutes early, and flag any dietary needs in advance. The venue is wheelchair accessible and typically hosts public tastings, so allow extra time if you want to explore after class.
This is a compact culinary skill session—less about gourmet technique, more about tactile learning and reproducible results you can take home and repeat.

Orecchiette traces to southern Italy where semolina and hand-shaping produced a pasta suited to rustic sauces; Denver’s craft-food scene adapts these traditions into social, brewery-hosted classes.
Many local venues prioritize seasonal, locally sourced produce and low-waste kitchens—ask about sourcing if sustainability matters to you.
