Cook and Fun: handmade pasta

Summary Description

A course to prepare the typical Tuscan fresh pasta handmade.

The pici are the most famous pasta dish in the Province of Siena. It is a type of pasta made by hand, thicker than normal spaghetti, which is made by rolling the dough and rubbing it with both hands; this gesture is precisely called, in the local dialect, "appiciare". You will pleasantly learn to make not only pici, but also tagliatelle and tasty sauces for seasoning, such as meat ragout, aglione sauce, or cacio e pepe [“Cheese and Pepper”]. At the end of this cooking course, you will enjoy a fresh pasta dish properly paired with a glass of wine. As a small present for you, the apron of the true Tuscan Chef.
