Pasta-Making Class in Aosta: Learn 3 Regional Recipes

Roll, fill and fold pasta the way Aosta cooks do, then eat what you made

A private pasta-making class held in a local cook's home in Aosta where you learn to prepare three authentic regional pasta recipes (tagliatelle, ravioli or agnolotti) with your own hands and workstation, then taste everything you've made with a selection of local red and white wines. The class runs three hours and is taught in English or Italian by a home cook from Cesarine, Italy's network of over 1,000 passionate hosts across the country.

The experience

You arrive at a local cook's home in Aosta and set up at your own workstation with all the utensils and ingredients ready. Over three hours, the host walks you through the techniques for three regional pasta recipes, showing you how to roll, fill and shape each one. This is hands-on: you're making the pasta yourself, not watching a demonstration. The host reveals the tricks that make these dishes authentic to the Valle d'Aosta region, and you put your skills to the test as you work through each recipe.

Once you've finished cooking, you sit down to taste everything you've prepared. A selection of local red and white wines accompanies the meal, along with water and coffee. The experience is private (just you and the host), so the pace and attention stay focused on what you're learning. Cesarine, the network behind this class, has been connecting travelers with home cooks across Italy for years. These are people who cook at home and open their doors to curious visitors, not commercial cooking schools.
