COOKING CLASS IN ITALY! MAMA MIA!!

If you're planning a trip to Florence, Italy, and looking for an unforgettable, hands-on experience, look no further than Pasta Class Florence. Whether you're a foodie, a cooking enthusiast, or simply looking for a fun activity while traveling, this cooking class is one of the best ways to immerse yourself in the heart of Italian cuisine.

Step Into Grandma's Kitchen

The experience begins with a warm welcome and a dive into one of the most cherished traditions of Italian cooking—making pasta from scratch. Under the guidance of a skilled chef, you’ll learn the secrets behind grandma’s recipes passed down through generations.

 First, we started with a rich, savory ragu sauce. The chef walked us through chopping vegetables, adding wine, and letting it simmer slowly for hours, while we got busy making our fresh pasta dough. The aroma of the sauce filling the kitchen was pure comfort, and it set the stage for what was to come.

Making Homemade Pasta: Tortelloni, Pappardelle, and Ravioli

The fun truly begins when you roll up your sleeves and start shaping your own pasta. We learned how to create three different kinds of pasta: delicate tortelloni, long and luscious pappardelle, and perfectly formed ravioli. Each one was unique, and the process of shaping the dough felt like an art form.

 For the ravioli, we made a homemade lemon ricotta filling that was fresh, light, and incredibly flavorful. This was the perfect touch to complement the rich, hearty ragu sauce we had simmering earlier. As we filled and cut our ravioli, the anticipation of sitting down to try our creations was building!

The Three Perfect Sauces

What would homemade pasta be without delicious sauces? After the pasta was shaped, we moved on to making three incredible sauces that would accompany our dishes. We started with the traditional ragu sauce for the pappardelle. The rich, slow-cooked flavors of tomatoes, meat, and wine were a perfect match for the wide, hearty noodles. 

Next, we created a simple yet indulgent butter and sage sauce that brought out the flavors of the tortelloni beautifully. Finally, we made a zesty lemon and chili sauce, which was light, refreshing, and paired perfectly with the homemade ravioli.

My date, and our workstation:

Unlimited Wine and Soda

One of the highlights of the class was the unlimited wine (if you drink, I don't so I had unlimited Diet Cokes!) that flowed throughout the experience. As we learned and laughed together, we sipped on local wines that perfectly complemented the flavors of our dishes. It was the perfect way to make the experience even more fun and social! 

The Grand Finale: Tasting Your Creations

The best part of the class? Sitting down to enjoy the fruits of our labor. We plated our homemade pasta, each dish paired with the sauce we’d made, and then dug into the delicious results. Every bite was a true celebration of Italian flavors, and we couldn’t believe we had made it all ourselves! 

Whether you're traveling as a couple, with friends, or solo, this cooking class is an experience you won’t want to miss. It’s the perfect way to not only learn traditional Italian cooking but also immerse yourself in the local culture and flavors of Florence.
