Learn to make traditional pappardelle by hand in a fun, hands-on class in Livorno. Enjoy a class in a charming restaurant overlooking the canal and savor your homemade pasta with prosecco and wine.
Join Sarah, a passionate fresh pasta expert with over 5,000 satisfied clients, for an authentic hands-on pasta making experience in the heart of Livorno's charming Venezia Nuova district.
In this 1.5/2-hours class, learn to make traditional pappardelle entirely by hand, no machines, just the old-fashioned way, exactly as Italian grandmothers have done for generations.
Enjoy a tasting of your homemade pasta, along with 2 glasses of Prosecco, 2 glasses of wine and a limoncello/meloncello. The pasta comes with a choice of two sauces: a ragù fish sauce (delicious!) or the classic tomato basil, also delicious.
Perfect for everyone, families with young children are very welcome. Kids will love using fun dinosaur-shaped cookie cutters to create their own pasta.
The class takes place in a charming authentic restaurant overlooking the canal, with a beautiful outdoor terrace in the heart of Livorno's most picturesque neighborhood. All dietary requirements are considered upon request.
About the host Sarah:
I have been passionate about fresh pasta for over 5 years. For me, making pasta by hand is much more than a cooking skill, it's a form of meditation.
When your hands touch the dough, something shifts. You forget your worries. You become fully present, focused only on the flour, the eggs, the rhythm of kneading. There is something deeply healing in that connection between your hands and the simplest ingredients.
I believe that pasta carries memory, it has been passed down from generation to generation, from grandmother to grandchild, from one table to another. When I teach, I don't just share a recipe. I share a tradition, a feeling, a moment of pure presence.
With over 5,000 satisfied guests and not a single bad review, I pour my heart into every class. I want you to leave not just knowing how to make pasta, but feeling something you didn't expect.
The classes are happening in the restaurant Le Botteghe 2.0.
