Pasta Palooza
Uncover the history of pasta with your team and learn the secrets of the most classic pasta and sauce recipes in this hands-on team building experience. Groups collaborate through teamwork and communication to make a dish so good it’s pre-pasta-rous!
Event Overview
Make Fresh Pasta from Scratch!
In Pasta Palooza, everyone goes home excited about their new culinary skill, and team building experience. Participants not only learn the history of pasta, but they also will learn the best tips and tricks to making fresh pasta from scratch while fostering new connections.
With guidance and fun ice-breakers, participants will gather in groups to prepare pasta dough from scratch using the old fashion “well method” and other techniques to craft the perfect pasta. Teams will be fully equipped with all the necessary ingredients and tools that they will need to roll out their dough into sheets. Once their dough is made, teams will use a variety of pasta cutters to cut their sheets into 3 different shapes for cooking. They then start creating the sauces, pairing each pasta type with its own unique, delectable sauce. Nothing compares to the taste and texture of freshly made pasta, and enough pasta will be made so that everyone on the team will be able to taste.
Experience all the pastabilities of learning a new cooking skill together!

Ben and his team were fantastic yesterday! Thank you so very much for everything!
The event was perfect !!!!! Your staff were amazing and engaging. We absolutely loved the activities building up to the Teddy Bear Build. Beyond our expectations.
Our client and the guests LOVED the activity. Paul did an amazing job keeping everyone engaged and entertained.
“It was an amazing day… and the team really enjoyed Tools for Schools. It meant a lot to them to help children in the community. There were many teary eyes, including mine!”
Amazing! The event was a HUGE success! Everything was perfect – the participants thoroughly enjoyed themselves. I can’t say enough about how well it went. The word is already flying around the office about the success of the program and we already have another group thinking about using this program for an event of their own!
The hunt was a huge success!! Even this skeptical crowd of mobile app building designers and engineers were pleasantly surprised with the very cool smartphone application and everyone had a really great time! Michael and his team did a terrific job facilitating and the whole event went very smoothly.
