About this tour
Roll up your sleeves in Assisi to build two classic Italian baked pastas from scratch. Over 2 hours 15 minutes, you'll work alongside a home cook at an intimate kitchen school, kneading dough, constructing lasagna layers, and piping cannelloni filling. Master the foundational sauces—béchamel and ragù—that transform simple ingredients into something worth returning for. Cap the session by eating what you've made, washed down with a glass of local wine amongst the convivial buzz of the school's dining space.
Highlights
- Hand-roll and shape fresh pasta sheets from dough
- Layer lasagna with homemade ragù and béchamel sauce
- Pipe and roll cannelloni with savoury ricotta filling
- Taste your finished dishes with regional wine
- Learn techniques from a practising home cook
- Small group setting in a traditional Assisi kitchen
What to expect
Expect to get your hands floury. You'll start by mixing and kneading pasta dough, then move to assembly work—spreading sauce, layering sheets, stuffing tubes. The instructor guides rather than demonstrates; mistakes are part of learning. Once your dishes go into the oven, there's time to watch the kitchen in action and chat with other participants. When everything emerges golden and bubbling, you'll plate up and sit down to eat together. It's unhurried and focused on doing, not performing.
Good to know
Wear clothes you don't mind getting messy. The school sits near public transport in Assisi. No prior cooking experience required. Classes are small, so book ahead during peak season. The wine pairing is included.
