Steam curls off boiling pots and flour dusts the air like winter fog — except here the heat is savory, not cold. In a repurposed distillery venue in Minneapolis, Chef Mimi walks the room, hands dusted in semolina, guiding small groups through dough that yields under pressure and becomes ribboned pasta on a wooden board.

Steam curls off boiling pots and flour dusts the air like winter fog — except here the heat is savory, not cold. In a repurposed distillery venue in Minneapolis, Chef Mimi walks the room, hands dusted in semolina, guiding small groups through dough that yields under pressure and becomes ribboned pasta on a wooden board.
The technique you learn here traces back to regional Italian traditions: eggs, flour, olive oil and rhythm. Minnesota’s food story feeds into that practice — glacial soils and the Mississippi watershed made the region fertile for grains and dairy, shaping a local palate that welcomes rich, cream-forward sauces. Minneapolis itself grew around milling at St. Anthony Falls; today those industrial roots share space with craft breweries and distilleries, giving this class a practical, communal vibe.
Expect hands-on kneading, step-by-step shaping, and a demonstration of a classic Alfredo — butter, cream, Parmesan — paired with a seasonal salad. The room hums with small-group instruction rather than spectacle; it’s a skills workshop, not a tasting menu.
Practical guidance: arrive 10 minutes early, tell hosts about dietary needs in advance, and wear closed-toe shoes. All ingredients and tools are provided, but bring a notebook or phone for photos and a willingness to get your hands messy. The class is beginner-friendly, ideal for couples, solo travelers, or a low-key group outing. Leave with a written recipe, practiced technique, and a plate you helped create — the kind of tangible skill you can reproduce at home.

Minneapolis developed around flour milling at St. Anthony Falls; the city’s industrial past has been repurposed into food and beverage venues that host pop-up culinary experiences.
Many local venues emphasize sourcing from regional producers and minimizing food waste; bring reusable containers if you plan to take leftovers and ask about composting options.
