Leona Valentine's Day Pasta Making Class

Please join us for a delightful evening of pasta making, wine, charcuterie, and conversation. Our first class of the year will celebrate love, companionship, and Valentine's Day. Class will begin at 7pm on Friday, February 13. Each ticket counts for two attendees, so bring your favorite person to this special class.

Victoria, the owner/operator of Leona, will be guiding you through the process of forming and kneading dough by hand, followed by the shaping and rolling of it into gnocchetti sardi. While the dough rests and before the shaping begins, we will enjoy natural wine and a grazing board of meats, cheeses, crackers and bread. Pasta questions? Victoria is here to answer those along the way. 

Gnocchetti Sardi is a traditional Sardinian pasta shape made for special occasions which resemble small ridged shells. They have a wonderful bite, great chew and the ridges help cling to whatever sauce you choose to pair with it. We will be naturally dying our dough red in the spirit of the holiday.

All materials are provided, including take-home boxes, cooking instructions, and our signature dough recipe—so you can recreate the experience at home with friends or family.

The class runs approximately 2 hours. Space is limited, reserve your spot now. Tickets are non-refundable.

Victoria is the owner and operator of Leona, a micro-batch pasta business specializing in fresh, hand-cut, bronze-extruded pasta and seasonally filled, handmade stuffed pastas. You can find her offerings every Sunday at the Hollywood Farmers’ Market, as well as at select specialty shops around Los Angeles.

A self-taught pastaia, Victoria has spent the last four years mastering her craft through hands-on experience—learning from both her wins and mistakes. Her goal is simple: to demystify fresh pasta-making and show that it’s not only possible to do at home, but also deeply fun and satisfying.

Victoria will be hosting regular pasta workshops at Bucatini, with new dates announced monthly. For private lessons or custom classes, feel free to reach out through her website.
