🍝 Pasta Perfection in the Classroom! 🍝 Last week, Foods II students rolled up their sleeves and got to work making fresh pasta from scratch! After mixing and kneading the dough, they mastered the pasta roller and cutter to create delicate angel hair and hearty fettuccine noodles. But what’s pasta without the perfect sauce? The next day, student chefs teamed up to craft their own homemade red sauce and creamy Alfredo sauce—and the results were absolutely delicious! 😋 Hands-on learning never tasted so good! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳👏 📸 Check out the photos of our future chefs in action! ⬇️ #CookingUpLearning #PastaFromScratch #FutureChefs #LeetonBulldogs
