BECOME A MASTER OF PASTA, THE MOST KNOWN ITALIAN DISH
Are you ready to blend eggs with flour and roll the pin to get perfect tagliatelle? What about using a special utensil to get spaghetti alla chitarra? Making pasta with spinach has never been much easier. How? Easy, with ricotta cheese you can prepare delicious gnudi. You’ll learn all this and much more in this cooking class! An enthusiastic and knowledgeable local chef will show you not only how to create the perfect fresh hand-made pasta formats, but also how to prepare the best seasonal sauces like pesto, carbonara or pummarola to get the real Italian flavours.

With the live demonstration of our qualified and charismatic chef you’ll learn not only about the taste of the genuine Italian gelato, but also how it’s made, the details about the freezing and heating techniques and what natural colors can be used. Last but not least: what is an Italian gelato without its cone? Give your gelato a crunchy touch and see how to make it iconically Italian!
FILL YOUR BELLY AND GET AWARDED
It’s never been so delicious to reap what you sowed! Eat the inviting dishes you’ve put your hands on while drinking a couple of glasses of fine wine!
