From MasterChef to your pasta dough. In 2014, Denver chef Aarika Ortiz competed on MasterChef and walked away knowing food wasn't just something she loved, it was what she wanted to build her career around. More than a decade later, she's bringing that experience to Alley Brews for a hands-on night of ravioli making. Chef Aarika will walk you through the process, share the techniques she's learned through years in professional kitchens and teaching cooking classes, and help you make ravioli yourself. No pasta expertise required. Come hungry. Leave knowing how to make the thing you usually just order. Beer, coffee, craft cocktails and non-alcoholic options will be available throughout the class.
