    One of the most important dishes in Italian cuisine is tagliatelle, a process that requires patience and love. Let's learn how to prepare them together! Noodles combine perfectly with cream-based sauces. We will be able to choose from several options: "cream and salmon" (an easy and tasty sauce), cream, ham and peas (a classic that everyone likes), cream and dried porcini mushrooms (a very interesting and typical sauce of our areas), or cream and sausage (rich and fragrant).

    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.

    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!!

    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!
