Italy would not be Italy without pasta. Pasta is one of the country's most beloved exports but did you know that it's surprisingly easy to make at home? This experience is dedicated to teaching you how to bring a bit of Italy right into your home and onto your plate; from making and rolling your own pasta to choosing the right shape for the right sauce, and why the best pasta dishes are often the most simple.
You'll start the evening with a prosecco and aperitivo reception in charming Trastevere, a beloved Roman neighborhood, greeting your fellow cooks - we keep the group small for a more intimate experience and clear the location of any other guests. Then with a local chef as your tutor, you'll learn how to make authentic Italian pasta from scratch. As you work, your teacher will divulge those precious tips passed down through generations of Italian families, about getting the most flavor from your ingredients, and making sure your pasta is always smooth and perfectly cooked.
As your pasta settles, the chef will prepare gelato right in front of you - showing you the art of this delicious treat. Once everything is ready, you'll pop a few more bottles of wine and sit down with the rest of the group to enjoy your dinner. Like any good Italian meal, you'll have all the time you want to eat and chat, then finish off with the dessert prepared by your teacher.
At the conclusion of your time together, you will have the option to stay in the space to continue the evening with your new friends or spill out into the Roman night exploring the nearby vein of vibrant streets that make up lovely Trastevere.
