Sorrento: Pasta-Making Class with Local Chef

Learn to make fettuccine and ravioli with a local chef in Sorrento. Enjoy a hands-on experience, savor your creations with local wine, and take home recipes to recreate the dishes.
Immerse yourself in the art of pasta-making with a hands-on class in Sorrento. Guided by a local chef, learn to create authentic fettuccine and ravioli from scratch.

Begin with a warm welcome and an introduction to the world of fresh pasta. Discover the origins of Italy’s most beloved pasta shapes, the importance of ingredient selection, and the crucial role of dough consistency. Learn why flour, hydration, and manual techniques can completely change the final result, and discover the fundamental bases for making a perfect dough: soft, elastic, and easy to work with.

Once the dough is prepared, start the most fun and creative part of the class. Roll out the dough by hand, just like tradition dictates, and learn to cut fettuccine, one of the symbols of Italian cuisine, long, soft, and perfect for collecting any type of sauce. Then, dedicate yourself to preparing ravioli, small pasta parcels filled with ricotta or other fillings typical of the Sorrento tradition. The chef will show you how to close them perfectly, how to seal them correctly, and how to obtain their elegant and uniform shape.

After preparing the pasta, learn how to cook it and pair it with traditional Italian sauces. Discover the authentic taste of sauces made with local ingredients, such as fresh tomatoes, Campanian extra virgin olive oil, and the fragrant basil of the Sorrento Peninsula. See how simple it is to transform genuine ingredients into an extraordinary dish, and how the quality of handmade pasta enhances every flavor.

Once the preparation is complete, sit down to enjoy the result of your work: a complete meal made by you, accompanied by a glass of local wine or a typical drink. It’s the perfect time to relax, make new friends, and fully enjoy the warm and Mediterranean atmosphere that makes Sorrento so special.

During the class, the staff will be happy to take photos or videos to capture the most beautiful moments of your experience. At the end, receive detailed recipes so you can repeat everything at home and surprise friends and family with authentic fettuccine and ravioli, prepared according to Italian tradition.
