Tuscan Pasta-Making Class in San Diego: 3-Course Menu

Make three Tuscan dishes from scratch in an outdoor San Diego kitchen

A hands-on pasta-making class in San Diego where you prepare bruschetta, handmade pappardelle with brown butter and sage, and tiramisu, then sit down to eat the full three-course menu in a covered patio. The class runs three hours with a chef guiding you through each dish, and it's designed to accommodate dietary needs if you let the operator know in advance.

The experience

You'll work in a charming patio kitchen in San Diego, learning to shape fresh pasta by hand and build each course from its raw ingredients. The menu starts with bruschetta al pomodoro (ripe tomatoes, garlic, basil and olive oil on crisp bread), then moves to pappardelle, the wide ribbon pasta you'll toss with brown butter, sage and Parmigiano cheese. Tiramisu comes last: the layered dessert of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cream that finishes a Tuscan meal. A top-rated chef walks you through the techniques for each one, and the class stays small so there's room to ask questions and watch closely.

The setting is relaxed and al fresco, built around a covered patio where you work and then eat. You'll use fresh garden-picked herbs as you cook, and the whole experience is designed to feel like cooking in Tuscany rather than taking a class. The class welcomes dietary needs. Let the operator know what you need before you book, and they'll adjust the menu to suit you. If you want to bring wine or beer to enjoy with the meal, you're welcome to do that.
