Looking for a fun, creative activity in Haarlem that gets kids away from their screens and into the kitchen?

The Junior Pasta Party is a hands-on pasta-making workshop designed especially for young food lovers aged 10–14. Over approximately 2 hours, they'll learn to make fresh pasta from scratch, enjoy plenty of delicious food, and leave with new skills, recipes, and memories they'll be talking about long after the flour has been cleaned off their aprons.

No cooking experience is needed. Just bring your enthusiasm and a big appetite.

All workshops are held in English.

The menu changes throughout the year to celebrate seasonal ingredients, so no two Pasta Parties are exactly the same.

Every workshop includes two fresh pastas made completely from scratch:

• Handmade tagliatelle

• Filled ravioli

We'll guide you through the entire process, from mixing and kneading the dough to rolling, shaping and cooking your pasta.

For the ravioli, there will always be 2-3 selection of fillings to choose from, so everyone will find a filling they'll be excited to make and eat.

We finish by cooking everything together and sitting down to enjoy the meal you've created, followed by homemade tiramisu for dessert.

€95 per person

To enquire about availability or make a booking, please contact info@thepastastudio.nl.

We do everything we can to accommodate dietary needs, but due to the size of our workshop space and the nature of pasta making, we cannot offer a gluten-free experience. The flour used by other guests can easily contaminate shared surfaces, making it unsafe for those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease.

We take food allergies seriously and do our best to minimize cross-contamination, but we cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment.

If you have any allergies or dietary requirements—such as vegan or vegetarian preferences—please let us know at least one week in advance via the contact form or by emailing info@thepastastudio.nl. This gives us time to plan accordingly and ensure a safe, delicious experience for everyone.

Our workshops are non‑refundable. However, if your plans change, you're welcome to transfer your booking to another date up to 14 days before the scheduled workshop.

Transfer or cancellations: Transfers or cancellations made within 14 days of your class cannot be refunded or moved.

Unforeseen Circumstances: In rare cases (e.g. chef illness, venue issues), we may have to postpone or cancel. In that case, we’ll notify you as quickly as possible and offer either a full refund or the choice of a replacement class.
