- Fresh pasta with spelled flour
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.

- 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!!
- 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!
