Make Pasta Like Italians Do: An Intimate Hands-On Experience in Dallas

Learn how Italians choose ingredients and make fresh pasta from scratch in an intimate hands-on class. Only 6 seats available.
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
