Pasta and Tiramisu Class in San Gemini: Make 2 Pasta Types

Three hours, two pasta shapes, one tiramisu, and a Cesarina's kitchen secrets

A hands-on pasta and tiramisu cooking class in San Gemini, Umbria, where you learn to roll fresh pasta by hand and make two different pasta types from scratch in a local home cook's kitchen. Groups stay under 12 people. The class includes an Italian aperitivo, wine, and tasting of everything you make.

The experience

You learn to roll 'sfoglia', fresh pasta dough, by hand, then make two iconic pasta types: one stuffed and one fresh. A Cesarina, one of Italy's network of home cooks who open their kitchens to travelers, teaches you her family recipes in her own home in San Gemini. The class wraps with tiramisu, the layered dessert that closes nearly every Italian meal. Everything you make, you taste. The aperitivo (prosecco and nibbles) comes at the start to settle you in.

The group stays small, capped at 12 people, so there's room to ask questions and move around the kitchen without crowding. Your host speaks English or Italian, and the whole thing runs three hours. Water, wine and coffee flow throughout. You leave with an official Le Cesarine apron and the muscle memory of how to shape pasta the way an Italian home cook does it.

What’s included

• Italian aperitivo with prosecco and nibbles.
• water, wine and coffee.
• tasting of both pasta types and tiramisu you prepare.
• official Le Cesarine apron.
