About this tour
Learn to hand-roll two signature Sardinian pastas in a local's home kitchen in Cagliari. Over two hours, you'll mix dough and shape culurgiones (ridged parcels) and lorighittas (delicate rings) under guidance from someone who grew up making them. Afterwards, sit down to eat what you've made alongside regional wine, tasting the difference technique makes.
Highlights
- Hand-shape culurgiones from dough to finished pasta
- Master lorighittas, the intricate braided pasta rings
- Taste your own work with local Sardinian wine
- Cook in a residential kitchen, not a tourist venue
- Learn dough consistency and shaping tricks
- Sit-down meal in relaxed household setting
What to expect
You'll arrive at a home kitchen and jump straight into making pasta dough. Your host will show you how to knead and rest it properly, then demonstrate the signature pinch-and-fold technique for culurgiones—those golden parcels with the distinctive ridged edge. Next comes lorighittas, which requires more patience but feels rewarding once you get the rhythm. Expect your first attempts to be imperfect; that's the point. After an hour or so of hands-on work, you'll move to the table where fresh pasta hits hot water. You'll taste the silky texture of what you've made, paired with a glass of local wine. It's a genuine meal, not a rushed tasting.
