Join this pasta-making class in Siena and immerse yourself into the culinary traditions of Tuscany, where you’ll learn to create rustic, homemade pasta from scratch using time-honored techniques.
The experience usually begins with a warm welcome from a passionate local chef, who will introduce you to the essential ingredients—flour, eggs, and a pinch of local tradition.
You’ll start by kneading the dough by hand, learning how to achieve the perfect consistency, and then move on to rolling and shaping your pasta. In Siena, the focus is often on hand-rolled varieties like pici (thick, chewy spaghetti) or strangozzi, both of which are staples in Tuscan kitchens.
Along the way, the chef will guide you through the process, teaching you the secrets of working with different types of dough and shaping pasta by hand. Once your pasta is ready, you’ll pair it with traditional sauces, such as a rich ragù made with local meats or a simple olive oil and garlic dressing.
After a fun and informative session, you’ll sit down to savor your creations, enjoying a meal full of the flavors of Tuscany. It’s not just a class—it’s a chance to connect with the culinary soul of Siena and take a piece of Tuscany home with you.

My husband and I had the most fantastic experience at cooking Italy! Silvia was our chef instructor and we loved her! The location was lovely, immaculate and perfectly appointed – if you are in Sorrento you must find time for Cooking Italy!

This experience is a ‘must do’ in Italy, and the beautiful setting and expert instructors at Cooking Italy in Rome make this the place to do your Italian cooking class. I don’t usually enjoy cooking but I totally enjoyed this, and the pasta we made was outstanding.

We took the pasta making class with our two boys aged 10 and 12 and we had such a great time. Luca was a friendly, fun and engaging teacher and our whole group were lovely. We made two types of pasta by hand at a relaxed pace, the boys could easily follow along and had such a good time, which meant we did too.
