Cooking Class Home Made Italian Pasta

About this tour

Roll up your sleeves in a Civitavecchia kitchen to master fresh pasta from scratch. Over two hours, you'll learn how Italian cooks build flavour through technique and ingredient selection, then sit down to eat what you've made. Whether you've never kneaded dough or you cook regularly at home, the chef guides you through the rhythms of proper pasta-making, from mixing flour to cutting shapes by hand.

Highlights

• Hand-roll and shape pasta under chef instruction
• Understand why Italian ingredients matter to texture
• Cook and taste your own dishes immediately
• Work in a relaxed, air-conditioned kitchen space
• Take recipes home to recreate for friends
• Glass of wine included with the class

What to expect

You'll arrive at a small working kitchen and be shown how to build a proper dough, how long to knead, and when it's ready. The chef demonstrates cutting and shaping techniques—tagliatelle, pappardelle, whatever the day's menu covers—then you have a go. Expect flour on your clothes and plenty of questions answered in real time. Once everything's cooked, you eat together in the same space, tasting the pasta hot and understanding how the techniques you just used affect the final dish. The pace is unhurried; this isn't a race.
