- Seasonal appetizer
- Homemade fresh pasta
- Typical dessert
I have always loved cooking, especially for large groups of people. In summer, I like to make tomato sauce, jams, flavored oils and salts. For my recipes, I make it a priority to use local and organic products. In this cooking class, we will start with a seasonal appetizer and then I will teach you how to make fresh pasta and cook them with seasonal sauces, including bigoli, tagliatelle, tagliolini, fusilli and more. Each type of pasta has a unique flavor and the shape of the pasta combines differently with the sauces we use. We will then conclude with a typical dessert. While cooking, we will also be able to enjoy the beautiful garden, which is especially pleasant during the warm season while tasting the dishes made during the course.

- Monica and her husband Paulo were superb hosts. We had a very enjoyable, entertaining and authentic Tuscan culinary experience. Monica was an excellent teacher both in describing verbally and demonstrating what we were required to do. Our engagement in choosing the produce and dishes we cooked plus trying the fruit and herbs from Monica’s garden also added to the experience. We would have no hesitation in recommending to our friends
- Mónica is a lovely woman. She is kind and generous with her time and resources. She is a very good ambassador for the food of Lucca and Tuscany.
- My husband and I had an incredible experience with Monica and her husband. The house was lovely, as we made food on the back patio. We started by making the dough and then while the dough raised, we had some appetizers that were local to their area. We had incredible conversation, although somewhat challenging with the language, but we all did incredibly well. We then made the pasta and the sauces for the noodles. It was an incredible night! And one that I would recommend to anyone.
- Monica and her husband were wonderful hosts and took great care and time to teach and create a fun experience.
- We had such a lovely time with Monica during our cooking class! She treated us like family, and served us to some of the most delicious food we have had in Italy! She was a great instructor, and made the experience both fun and educational, and really gave the class a personal touch! I highly recommend Monica for an authentic Italian cooking experience!!
