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, I will teach you how to make various types of fresh pasta in different shapes and how to cook them with seasonal sauces, including bigoli, tagliatelle, noodles, fusilli and more. Each type of pasta has a unique flavor, and the shape of the pasta combines differently with the sauces we use. While cooking, we can also enjoy the beautiful garden, which is especially pleasant during the warm season.

- I am an interested cook from France who wanted to learn about Italian pasta and techniques; for this reason, I signed up for Monica’s “fresh pasta making” course. First of all you should note that Monica is a wonderfully animated teacher. She has a wealth of experience and, unlike most chefs, she is generous with her knowledge. Monica’s home is 10 minutes from the walls of Lucca, a short car or taxi ride. ( in summer a pleasant escape from the city heat). So if you are in Lucca and looking to learn how to make fresh pasta, do sign up for Monica’s course. I did and I am glad I did. Cheers
- This experience was wonderful! We were paired with Monica who warmly welcomed us into her home and gave us a night to remember! We started by analyzing the unlimited number of available Italian flour before selecting the base of our pasta. She was patient and strict at the same time - exactly what you'd expect from an Italian teacher. We greatly enjoyed rolling the dough, making the sauces, cutting the pasta, and drinking the wine! Monica and her husband were super entertaining with their local stories and jubilant attitude. I was full for days afterwards. 10/10 would cook again!
- Our afternoon with Monica was wonderful! It was not only authentic and educational but Monica made us feel like family! She took the time to make sure we understood the techniques and we rested with good food, good company and good wine in between! Paolo, Monica’s husband was wonderful as well. He worked hard behind the scene to make this a memorable experience!
- It was truly a pleasure spending the day with Monica and her husband. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our pasta making and enjoyed the foods Monica prepared. She was such a delight! I would highly recommend this activity! The only negative I have was that there was no Market tour, which is how it was advertised with "Get Your Guide", but that was no fault of Monica's. She was simply the best!
- Monica and her husband were exceptional! They were warm welcoming and so wonderful! They asked what we wanted to make and were good at managing expectations due to time. They were so generous and knowledgeable and kind. It was a truly magical experience for my family. The children loved it! Thank you so much for a special memory and evening!!!
