About this Event
A good recipe means nothing without great ingredients.
At La Cucina Segreta by Olio&Olive, we don’t start with fancy techniques — we start with real Italian ingredients and the knowledge to choose them correctly.
In this intimate, hands-on class led by an Italian importer and food professional, you’ll learn how Italians actually select flour, understand dough, and prepare fresh pasta at home — then make your own tagliatelle and fettuccine from scratch to take home.
With only 6 guests per class, this is a relaxed, personal experience designed to feel like cooking around a kitchen island in an Italian home — educational, fun, and unforgettable.
About the Experience
This is not just a traditional cooking class.
It’s an ingredient-first masterclass where you’ll learn:
- Why the flour you use matters more than the recipe
- How Italians judge pasta dough by touch and texture
- What makes real fresh pasta different from store-bought
- How to replicate authentic results at home
Then you’ll put everything into practice by preparing fresh egg pasta by hand.
While the dough rests, you’ll enjoy a small Italian antipasto selection and continue learning about the ingredients you’re working with.
What You’ll Do
- Learn how Italians choose flour for fresh pasta
- Mix and knead fresh egg pasta dough by hand
- Shape and cut tagliatelle and fettuccine
- Take your freshly made pasta home to cook and enjoy
- Taste Italian antipasti during the class
- Ask questions in a small, relaxed group setting
