Discover the authentic flavours of Italian cuisine through an immersive traditional cooking experience in the heart of Naples, led by a passionate local chef. In this hands-on class, you'll learn to prepare fresh homemade pasta from scratch using fresh organic eggs and a traditional Italian mattarello (rolling pin), as well as one of Italy's most iconic desserts: traditional tiramisù.
Your culinary journey begins with dessert: prepare a classic Italian tiramisù from scratch using creamy mascarpone, coffee-soaked biscuits, and cocoa powder. Once completed, your tiramisù will chill as you move on to the next part of the experience.
Next, discover the art of traditional fresh pasta-making. Start by preparing your dough from scratch with fresh organic eggs and simple, high-quality ingredients. Your chef will guide you through mixing, kneading, rolling, and shaping the dough by hand, showing you how fresh pasta was traditionally made in Italian homes using time-honored techniques.
Master the traditional art of stretching fresh pasta by hand with an Italian mattarello, using a technique passed down through generations and without pasta machines. You'll learn how to control the pressure, achieve the right thickness, and recognise the perfect consistency of the dough, creating authentic handmade fresh pasta.
A special focus is dedicated to preparing and pairing the perfect sauces with your fresh pasta. Prepare two classic Italian sauces: a creamy Alfredo made with Parmigiano and butter for your handmade tagliatelle, and a San Marzano tomato and basil sauce for your homemade ravioli. Your chef will show you how simple, high-quality ingredients can create authentic Italian flavours and how to choose the right sauce to complement each type of handmade pasta.
Once your pasta is ready, sit down together and enjoy the meal you've prepared, accompanied by a refreshing drink. Taste your handmade pasta and savour the flavours of the sauces you've prepared. To finish, enjoy the homemade tiramisù you prepared earlier, now perfectly chilled and ready to taste.
Before leaving, you'll receive access to the recipes used during the class, so you can recreate the experience at home and share a taste of traditional Italian cooking with your friends and family.
This class is ideal for couples, families, solo travellers, and food lovers looking for an authentic and interactive Italian cooking class in Naples. Go beyond simply tasting Italian food and discover the traditional art of making fresh pasta by hand with a mattarello.
