Holy yum, am I right?? Yesterday, Stephen and I went to a pasta making class courtesy of CourseHorse. This is a company that makes local education more accessible by helping providers reach new audiences. They have recently launched in Atlanta and provide anything from lifestyle classes like cooking and art classes to business classes like finance and technical skills.
I opted for a cooking class because we all know my skills are little sub-standard. This class took place at the delicious Bellina Alimentari in Ponce City Market. It was incredible and SO fun. I fully expected to mess it up, but our Chef and instructor was super helpful and attentive to make sure we didn’t do that.
We had a great hands-on experience learning all of the steps and techniques to create the perfect noodle. We made our dough, rolled it out, flattened it, cut the dough and used the machine to slice our pasta. It was so awesome to do the process from scratch, beginning to end, and see the final result. 
We created angel hair and fettuccine noodles that we took home. After our course, our Chef served us some delicious butter spinach fettuccine so we could enjoy a snack and a glass of wine before we left.  I swear to you, this was one of the most delicious little bowls of pasta I’ve ever tasted.
After the course and our meal was over, we shopped around in the market at Bellina Alimentari for a sauce we could serve with our homemade pasta. We found this delicious pesto and quickly snapped it up so we could head home to cook our meal.  We had such a sense of pride knowing that we made this dish from scratch and it made it even that much more delicious.
I am SO excited that CourseHorse is launching in Atlanta. I have added so many courses to my wish list including: floral design, water color, soap making, make-up, photography, professional development, and all the cooking classes I can get my hands on. I am so excited to learn new skills with CourseHorse.
What class would you take?
Ahh this looks like so much fun!

The pesto was AMAZING and homemade pasta makes all the difference.
Oh my goodness, this looks amazing! I did a class like this with my family once and really loved it.
So fun! I was thinking it would be so fun to take a class with my mom.
Living in Italy and being married to an Italian I must say that I love pasta. It’s great fun to make and so satisfying! This looks lovely and your photos are beautiful. You’ve inspired me to sign up to a course so thanks!
Wow! I bet y’all have amazing pasta at your house! Let me know what you take!
Homemade pasta is amazing!! You can definitely taste a difference in flavor. I had no idea CourseHorse launched in ATL, I’ll definitely have to check it out.
I agree! It makes all the difference! Are you in Atlanta? Let me know if you take a fun class!
This looks so much fun would love to do a class like this and a makeup one!
I love taking new courses! The make-up courses are definitely on my list!
I heard pasta-making is tough but it looks so fun! Also, I bought my mom that pesto as part of her Mother’s Day gift (which was Italian food themed). Yum!!
We did the super easy version! I hear that filled pasta is a lot harder that just the noodles. It is definitely delicious though!
OMG this must have been SO much fun! I can only imagine! Making pasta is just the funnest! Love your necklace!
It was such a great and new experience! And thank you!!
This looks like so much fun! I have been wanting to learn how to make pasta.

It is so much easier than I thought. And tastier!
The photos look amazing and that class is really interesting. What camera do you use?
Thank you! I use a Cannon Rebel T3. It’s not the most advanced, but I can keep it in my purse and it gets the job done.
I have always wanted to make my own pasta! This looks like so much fun!!
It was such a fun and new experience! It is much easier than I thought it would be.
What a great idea! I love making pasta but I think I like the idea of not making the mess at my house better! It would be great to get some tips and tricks from a professional.
Oh absolutely! They cleaned up after us which made it a zillion times better.
I’ve looked into their classes before but never signed up for any of them. I would love to try the pasta making one.
You absolutely should!
Love fresh pasta! I think the class I would take would be about asian cooking.
Oh that sounds amazing! I want to look into that too!
This looks like so much fun! I’ve always wanted to take a cooking class!
