Join us to turn fresh chestnuts into delicious pasta, from orchard harvest to your plate!

Discover the flavors of fall and regenerative agroforestry

Join Seven Hills Farmstead for a hands-on pasta-making experience celebrating one of Italy’s most treasured ingredients: the chestnut.

Our evening begins with freshly roasted chestnuts, a beloved autumn tradition in Italy, before we roll up our sleeves and get to work making fresh pasta.

In this hands-on class, we'll start from scratch, combining a blend of traditional wheat and chestnut flours with fresh eggs to create a rich, flavorful pasta dough. You'll learn the techniques of mixing, kneading, and rolling the dough before cutting it into beautiful, rustic ribbons of pappardelle.

We'll celebrate the flavors of autumn by pairing our freshly made pasta with a hearty sauce of homemade Italian sausage and mushrooms harvested from our farm. A vegetarian version will also be available, showcasing the earthy flavors of seasonal mushrooms.

As we cook and share our meal, we'll take you beyond the kitchen and into the story of our chestnut orchard. Discover how we grow chestnuts using regenerative agricultural practices and explore how agroforestry—integrating trees, crops, and other elements of the landscape—can help build healthier soils, foster biodiversity, and create more resilient food systems.

We'll finish the evening on a sweet note with chestnut cantucci, traditional Italian biscotti made with chestnuts.

More than a pasta class, this is a taste of agroforestry—where agriculture, culture, and community come together.

Your ticket includes:

• Hands-on instruction in making fresh chestnut pappardelle from scratch

• Freshly roasted chestnuts

• Chestnut pappardelle with homemade Italian sausage and farm-grown mushrooms (vegetarian option available)

• Chestnut cantucci for dessert

• One glass of wine or beer

• Stories and insights from our chestnut orchard and regenerative agroforestry practices

All skill levels welcome.

Beer, wine, cocktails and mocktails will be available for purchase at the event.

Master the art of shaping and filling traditional Italian pasta before enjoying your creations together.

“La forma ed il ripieno!”

This class is all about the shaping and the filling of some of Italy’s most celebrated filled pastas. In this hands-on activity, we'll explore three different interpretations of pasta ripiena, learning how to transform a simple sheet of fresh egg pasta into beautiful, flavorful parcels.

Our culinary journey takes us through Northern and Central Italy, from the rich traditions of Emilia-Romagna and Lombardy to a contemporary interpretation of Rome's beloved cacio e pepe.

Along the way, we'll explore the history, ingredients, and regional foodways behind each recipe, discovering how geography, agriculture, and local customs have shaped Italy's extraordinary diversity of filled pasta.

You'll learn the essential techniques of rolling, filling, folding, and sealing pasta, including how to balance fillings, avoid trapped air, and create beautiful, consistent shapes. And of course we will look at the recipes for the fillings and learn tips and tricks to ensure proper dosage and filling consistency.

As always at Seven Hills Farmstead, we'll balance the craft of pasta-making with the conviviality of the Italian table, finishing by enjoying our creations together.

Your ticket includes:

• Hands-on instruction in making filled pasta from scratch

• Three variations of stuffed pasta featuring seasonal and local ingredients

• One glass of wine or beer

• Stories and insights from our culinary studio and regenerative agroforestry farms
