The Home Pasta Factory: Fettuccine, Lasagne, Ravioli, Orecchiette, Gnocchi

About

Italian cuisine is known abroad for pasta, fresh or dry.

In Italy basically we have 3 doughs for home made pasta:

• Egg based (fettuccine, tagliolini, tonnarelli, ravioli, cappellacci, lasagne, cannelloni)
• Water based (orecchiette, strozzapreti, cavatelli, pici, busiate)
• Potato based (gnocchi).

This cooking class in Rome will teach you the right cooking techniques to make your own Italian home made pasta. After our pasta making class, you will definitely be able to surprise your friends with new skills and delicious meals! 

You can choose 3 kinds of pasta or 2 kinds of pasta and 1 dessert from my options below.You'll prepare your meal with my help, after which we will experience our “masterpieces” together during a communal dinner. Our pasta-making class is all about having a good time, while learning about food and dining in Rome, and relaxing over a friendly meal with good conversation! When eating in Rome, a dinner is not complete without a bottle of wine! As such, a classic wine will be served during the dinner, different for every course.

P.D.: I have cats in the house, in case you're allergic :)
