What to Do
Semolina Pasta Making Class
You don’t have to go all the way to Italy to learn how to make great pasta—just take a class at Semolina in Milwaukee. Founded by restaurant industry veteran Petra Orlowski, whose mother is Sicilian and whose father is Mexican, the small pasta shop is adorned with a large herb garden. In addition to the handmade pasta and sauces that Orlowski makes and sells, the shop is stocked with the best imported Italian ingredients. A couple of times a month, Orlowski holds a small pasta-making class. You’ll have personal attention from a talented pasta maker as you learn how to mix, roll and shape your pasta. In the kitchen, Orlowski will walk you through making a simple puttanesca sauce before you enjoy the freshly made pasta and simple yet packed with flavor sauce.
