Pasta Making Class with Mamma in Assisi: Learn 3 authentic regional recipes

Make three pasta shapes from scratch, then sit down to eat them

A shared pasta-making class in Assisi where you learn to prepare three authentic regional pasta recipes by hand, then taste everything you've cooked over a meal with local red and white wines and prosecco. The host teaches family cooking secrets in English or Italian, and the class runs about two hours with all ingredients and utensils provided at your workstation.

The experience

You arrive at a home kitchen in Assisi and get a workstation with all the tools and ingredients ready. The host walks you through three different pasta shapes, showing you how to mix, knead and shape each one by hand. The way it's been done in the region for generations. You're not watching a demonstration. You're doing the work yourself, learning the tricks that make the difference between pasta that's just okay and pasta that tastes like home.

After the lesson, everything you've made gets cooked and plated. You sit down to eat it all (the filled or flavored pasta dressed with simple, flavorful sauces) alongside a selection of local red and white wines, prosecco and nibbles to start, water and coffee to finish. The meal is the point: you taste the result of your own hands, and you do it with someone who treats you like family, not a customer.

The class includes all ingredients, utensils, beverages and local taxes. Public transportation options are available nearby if you need them to get there.

Is this one for you?This is a shared class where you do the cooking yourself under guidance, so it suits someone who wants hands-on learning and doesn't mind working alongside other participants. If you'd rather watch a demonstration or prefer one-on-one instruction, a private lesson would be a better fit.
