Make Fresh Pasta in Marche: Learn & Eat What You Cook

You roll the dough, you shape the pasta, you eat the meal

A four-hour pasta-making class in a country house in Marche where you learn to prepare fresh egg pasta dough from scratch, roll it with a traditional wooden pin, shape it into ravioli, tagliatelle, cappelletti or lasagna, then cook and eat your own creations at a table in the same room. The experience includes a glass of local wine with finger foods, all equipment, an apron, and printed recipes to take home.

The experience

The class starts in a charming country house dedicated to cooking, where you'll learn to make the dough from the beginning: mixing eggs and flour into a proper fresh pasta base. After that first step, you take a short break to drink a glass of local wine and eat regional finger foods. Then you pick up a traditional wooden rolling pin and work the dough flat, shaping it into whatever pasta the day calls for: cappelletti, ravioli, tagliatelle, or lasagna, following the techniques Italians have used for generations.

Once your pasta is ready and cooked, you set the table in the same room where you worked and sit down to eat what you made. The meal happens in that warm, authentic space: no moving to a separate dining room, no distance between the cooking and the eating. You get an apron to wear during the class, printed recipes for each pasta shape you prepared, and water throughout. The experience runs four hours total.

What’s included

The complete cooking lesson, all equipment needed to make pasta, one apron per person, a glass of local wine paired with regional finger foods, water throughout the class, the pasta you prepare and cook, and printed recipes for each shape you made.
