What you'll do
In this hands-on class, you will learn how to make three popular pasta shapes: Penne, Farfalle (Bow Tie), and Cavatelli pasta. The pasta will be made completely from scratch, exploring both the traditional hand method and using pasta machines. You'll be guided through the different Italian regions to understand history and stories behind how these pastas came to be.While many associate Amatriciana sauce with Rome's bustling trattorias, its true origins lie nestled in the hills of central Italy, in the charming town of Amatrice. The earliest versions, likely dating back over a thousand years, were a symphony of salty pecorino cheese and cured guanciale (pork cheek), cooked together and tossed with pasta for a hearty meal. The addition of tomatoes, arriving in Europe from the Americas in the 16th century, transformed the dish into the beloved red sauce we know today.Your Italian Chef Instructor will demonstrate how to make the Amatriciana sauce in class, utilizing participation from the class to help build this delicious sauce from scratch. The class will end with a surprise dessert prepared by the chef!No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).Guests in the same booking party will work together throughout the class.

Recent reviews of Penne Pasta Making Class
- 5/5 from Kornelia Antonowicx, attended Feb 2026: We had such a fantastic experience at this cooking class today! I went with my son, and it turned out to be such a fun and memorable way to spend time together. Chef Tommaso was absolutely wonderful — patient, engaging, and very clear with his instructions. He created such a warm, inviting atmosphere that made everyone feel comfortable, no matter their skill level. We learned how to make fresh pasta from scratch, and it was amazing to see (and taste!) what we could create with his guidance. The class was hands-on, well organized, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this experience to others — it’s perfect for couples, groups of friends, or parents with teens looking for something different and interactive to do together. We’ll definitely be back!
- 5/5 from Jay Barrion, attended Feb 2026: The instructor was very detailed, patient and was attentive to everyone in the class
