Description
The Roman pasta cooking class in Testaccio takes place in a cosy Roman home setting, in a neighbourhood known for its authentic food. A local instructor starts you from the basics: flour, eggs or water, and your own hands, until you have fresh pasta.
Then come the three sauces that define the city's table. You cook cacio e pepe, then amatriciana, then carbonara, and the instructor shares the secrets behind each one's flavour.
- Fresh pasta made from scratch
- Three pasta courses, one per sauce
- Local wine alongside, then a homemade dessert and an Italian coffee
- The recipes to take home
You eat what you have cooked, at the end of about three and a half hours. Vegetarians and vegans are catered for with traditional Roman recipes, and gluten-free dishes can be prepared for guests with coeliac disease.
One thing to know before booking: the class is not recommended for people with serious allergies to dogs or cats. Hotel pickup and local transport tickets are not included. The class runs in English and in Italian.
