You step into a low-lit workshop above a neighborhood bar; flour dusts the stainless table and the room smells of olive oil and warm garlic. Chef Dix greets the group, demoing a simple dough that yields under his hands like a pliant river, then hands you the paddle to shape it yourself. For the next two hours you’ll knead, roll, and coax fettuccine from a handful of eggs and flour, and learn to build a marinara that sings with basil and butter.
