How does each pasta-making class work?
All of our classes are lively and hands-on affairs, so come ready to get stuck in. Each class typically lasts 2 hours and will be led by one of our expert Head Chefs. You’ll meet your new classmates over an aperitivo drink on arrival, including a typical Italian antipasti. You’ll then head to your workstation, where your linen apron and beechwood pasta tools will be waiting for you. Each masterclass will equip you with the skills to make your own pasta dough and create your own hand-rolled pasta shapes. At the end of the class we will cook your shapes for you and serve them with a delicious sauce.
