Sardinian Pasta Class in Cagliari: Make Culurgiones & Lorighittas

Shape two types of Sardinian pasta, then eat what you made

A two-hour pasta-making class in Cagliari where you learn to hand-shape culurgiones and lorighittas from scratch, working with a local guide in a home kitchen. You prepare the dough, shape both pasta types, and sit down to taste the dishes you've made with a glass of local wine. The class runs in English or Italian, and all ingredients and equipment are provided.

The experience

You start by preparing fresh pasta dough from scratch, then move straight into shaping culurgiones (the small, crimped parcels that are a Sardinian signature), and lorighittas, the delicate twisted rings. A local guide walks you through the hand techniques that give each shape its texture and hold, offering tips on dough consistency and the pressure needed to fold without tearing. The two-hour session stays hands-on. You're not watching a demonstration.

Once the pasta is shaped, you sit down at the table with the dishes you've made, each one dressed with seasonal sauce and paired with a glass of local wine. The meal happens in the same home kitchen where you worked, in a setting designed to feel unhurried. Public transportation options are available nearby if you're traveling without a car.

You can choose between a culurgiones class or a panadas class, each with lunch included. Both teach the same foundational techniques and end the same way, with a meal built from what you've made.

What’s included

• All fresh ingredients and kitchen equipment.
• instruction in shaping culurgiones or panadas.
• tasting of the pasta dishes you've made.
• one glass of local wine with the meal.

Is this one for you?Book this class if you want to learn a specific Sardinian pasta shape and taste it the same day, rather than a broader overview of regional cooking. The two-hour window and home setting mean you're working in a small group with direct attention from the guide, not in a large kitchen class.

Can I choose between the two pasta types, or do I learn both?
