Why you should choose this cooking class?
Are you a pasta enthusiast? Would you like to unleash your creativity in a new challenge that goes beyond the classic concepts of pasta and immerses you in the foundations of Italian pasta-making? If your answer was yes, then this is the perfect pasta experience for you.

When we talk about pasta, a vast world opens up. Italy’s rich background and culture reveal a stunning diversity of pasta, with around 300 different types found across the country. From North to South, pasta can be categorized into short, long, fresh, dry, handmade, filled or unfilled, and even with or without eggs. This variety showcases the creativity and artistry that locals have developed over centuries in what is arguably one of the most unique gastronomic landscapes in the world.

It’s also important to note that each pasta dish has its specific sauce or condiment. While this may seem rigid, it stems from history, geography, local ingredients, and cherished family recipes. In Naples, located in Southern Italy, you can enjoy delicious Paccheri and Spaghetti with seafood at a dreamy seaside restaurant, where the Mediterranean breeze cools you off during the hot summer months. In Modena and Bologna, in Northern Italy, the colder winter months call for comforting dishes like tortellini or baked pasta options, such as Lasagne Verdi and Rosette, which reflect the local gastronomic culture and resources. The philosophy of eating local is deeply ingrained in Italy, and it’s a practice you can fully embrace while exploring each region in the Country. However, navigating the names of certain dishes can be amusingly confusing. For instance, In the Emilia Food Valley, you may encounter terms like “Crescentine, Gnocco fritto, Torta fritta and Tigelle”, which can be quite entertaining… Don’t worry, we’ll tell you the difference!

Yes, we are a bit crazy, though there is always a nice story to tell you about…
