2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Roll up your sleeves — dinner is getting made from scratch. In a laid-back local venue, you’ll start by making fresh pasta dough, learning how to mix, knead and roll it until it’s ready to become delicate tagliatelle. You’ll cut and shape the pasta yourself, turning simple ingredients into ribbons ready for the pot. Then comes the good stuff: you’ll make a vibrant pesto di melanzane using eggplant, garlic, pine nuts and olive oil. You’ll cook the fresh tagliatelle, toss it through the silky eggplant pesto and finish it with Pecorino Romano for a salty, savory bite. You’ll learn hands-on pasta-making, shaping, cooking and sauce techniques without needing prior experience. Finish by enjoying your freshly prepared dish and the easygoing atmosphere around you — flour on your hands is basically part of the uniform.

What to expect

Fresh pasta starts with your hands, not a box. At a relaxed local venue, you’ll mix and knead pasta dough, then roll it out and cut it into ribbons of tagliatelle. You’ll learn simple techniques for getting the dough smooth, thin and ready for cooking, so even your first attempt feels approachable. Next, you’ll prepare a rich eggplant pesto by combining eggplant with garlic, pine nuts and olive oil for a savory, slightly smoky sauce. You’ll cook your handmade tagliatelle, toss it with the pesto and finish it with Pecorino Romano. Along the way, you’ll pick up practical tips for shaping pasta, building flavor and balancing a sauce. Then sit down and enjoy your freshly made dish in a relaxed, social setting. Store-bought pasta may never look quite the same again.
