Three hand-made pasta shapes and their sauces, made by you from meat and vegetables for fillings with fabulous flavour combinations; plus a traditional Italian dessert, are at the heart of your culinary experience.<\/p>\n\n
Included in your experience is unlimited water and excellent Tuscan wine, which you can sip as you sample the dishes you\u2019ve prepared.<\/p>\n\n
In fact, at the end of the class, you\u2019ll sit down with your fellow cooks and enjoy the fruits of your labour. In the beautiful city of Florence, you’ll discover the goodness of fresh, home-made pasta and the magic that happens when this Italian speciality is accompanied by the right sauces.<\/p>\n\n

Expertise in sealing filled pastas is something that comes with time and experience, but during the class you\u2019ll learn some secrets that will set you on the path to become a real master of ravioli. The filling \u2013 which should be flavourful and just moist enough so it doesn\u2019t leak during cooking \u2013 varies according to the season: you can make the classic spinach and ricotta filling, but you can also try something special, perhaps using pumpkins or other seasonal vegetables for mouth-watering results.<\/p>\n\n
Gnocchi is an ancient dish, typical of Italian cuisine. It\u2019s a simple but very nutritious potato-based recipe. It is also a versatile dish, as you can prepare a gluten-free version, making it the ideal solution for any situation.
Every pasta shape has its corresponding sauce. But how to make sure you don’t get it wrong? You\u2019ll find out during your Italian pasta class. You can experiment with the best seasonal sauces, typical of the Tuscany region.
You\u2019ll be amazed by how easy it is to make delicious Italian desserts. Depending on the season, you\u2019ll try your hand at a range of delicious recipes. It might be tiramisu or panna cotta, to give a couple of examples. Italian desserts are tasty, healthy and easy to prepare. You can learn their secrets and recipes, and impress your guests when they come over for dinner!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
