Ravioli & Tagliatelle Cooking Class in Positano

You make the pasta with your hands and eat it the same afternoon.

A three-hour cooking class in a local home in Positano where you make fresh ravioli and tagliatelle from scratch, pick ingredients from the garden, and sit down to lunch with wine and homemade liqueurs. The class covers three authentic recipes, including a traditional tiramisu, and runs in English or Italian with a live guide.

The experience

The class starts with an aperitif of local salami, cheese and prosecco, then moves into the kitchen where you'll make two types of pasta by hand: ravioli filled with ricotta, vegetables or meat, and tagliatelle dressed with sauce, vegetables or pesto. Before you cook, you walk the garden together to pick the ingredients you'll use: tomatoes, greens, whatever is ready. The host tells you the history of the dishes and the place as you work, and shows you the old techniques that make the pasta come out right.

After the pasta comes a caprese salad made with mozzarella and tomatoes from the same garden, then tiramisu prepared the way the family's grandmother made it. A glass of local wine sits with the meal, and at the end you taste homemade liqueurs. The whole thing takes about three hours and happens in the home itself, so you're cooking and eating in the same space where the family cooks every day.
