About this tour
Spend three hours in Francesca's kitchen learning to shape and sauce Sicilian pasta from scratch. You'll master three distinct pasta types—including a filled variety—and cook them into dishes rooted in her family's culinary traditions.

What to expect
Francesca guides you through the fundamentals of fresh pasta-making, starting with dough and moving through shaping techniques. You'll work alongside her preparing at least one filled pasta and two others, each with its own sauce. The morning builds toward lunch, where you sit down to eat what you've made together, accompanied by wine and coffee. Expect hands-on work, plenty of flour, and straightforward instruction pitched at home cooks rather than professionals.
Good to know
Let Francesca know about any food allergies or dietary needs before you arrive. The class runs three hours. Public transport stops nearby make getting there straightforward. Wear clothes you don't mind getting stained.
