Shared Experience
Your experience
Pasta with fish sauce is a typical dish of Tuscan and Lucchese cuisine, also very popular in my family. We often prepare fresh pasta, choosing among the various available flours the one you prefer. Next, we will learn how to cook a delicious fish sauce, creating a fragrant and tasty pasta that is easy to prepare and pleasing to the eye.
To conclude, we will prepare together a typical local dessert or, upon request, the famous tiramisu, the Italian dessert par excellence. Finally, we will taste the dishes prepared during the course. I look forward to sharing these special and authentic moments with you!

- 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!
- The evening was a total delight! Monica’s knowledge of cooking was deep and we learned much about the different flours and these various uses. We received true Italian hospitality in her home and the many delicious dishes served were appreciated! I have had many cooking classes but not compared to this incredible experience. A bonus was meeting and sharing the evening with Paolo, Monica’s husband. I highly recommend this experience- a highlight of my time in Lucca!!!
- True Italian home hospitality! Monica is a talented chef and a passionate teacher of the art of cooking. We enjoyed learning how to make homemade pasta and family recipes that delighted the senses. If you want an authentic Italian experience- you will be delighted beyond to join Monica and her husband, Paolo for an evening of outstanding culinary dishes. Highly recommend this 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!
