We were lucky to have some free time in Rome and chose this cooking class. We were taught by a very knowledgable local about the fresh produce and history of the area then was taken to a private residence to learn how to make 5 different types of pasta while our host Paula created some lovely sauces to go with our pasta. Great experience lots of fun and now I can make pasta myself at home.
Highlights
Visit the Campo de’ Fiori open-air market
Learn how to make at least 3 different types of pasta from scratch
Enjoy a fantastic 3-course meal followed by a slice of delicious homemade pie
Description
After taking a walk through Piazza Farnese, the Campo de’ Fiori open-air market, Via dei Baullari, and Piazza Navona, we’ll head to Paola's home, located in a 15th-century building in the heart of Rome, to prepare fresh pasta from scratch. Get ready for a hands-on experience!
We’ll make 2 different types of dough (with and without egg) and a minimum of 3 different pasta shapes, for example spaghetti, fettuccine, strozzapreti, maccheroncini, cavatelli and farfalle. You’ll learn how to recognise the different varieties, where they come from, and how to choose the best sauce pairings.
Once the pasta is made, we’ll show you how to make 3 different sauces. Finally, we’ll sit down together to enjoy the dishes you created! The experience ends with coffee and a slice of homemade pie made according to Nonna Maria Antonietta’s recipe.
