Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Ravioli pasta with seasonal stuffing
  • Cavatelli with Seasonal Toppings
  • Busiate fresh pasta with seasonal sauce/pesto

In my kitchen you will learn how to prepare two different fresh pasta doughs to make 3 traditional pasta shapes such as busiate, cavatelli, tagliatelle or ravioli. I will reveal all my secrets for making a perfect dough, a flavoursome filling and cooking the pasta al dente! We will use traditional tools such as rolling pins, ravioli cutters and most importantly our hands, the authentic tool to 'feel' the dough!

Fresh pasta will be seasoned with a traditional sauce following seasonality. In addition to preparing the recipes you will get to learn secrets and anecdotes about the history of the dishes. At the end of the preparation you will be able to taste the dishes made with a glass of an excellent local wine.

Enjoyed this course a lot! Made beautiful fresh pasta and learned how to prepare artichoke in the proper way :-) Alice and Francesco are very kind people with a lot of knowledge and patience. Can’t wait to try the recipes at home! If you’re in Palermo and want to have e great experience then my advise is to book this course.

Ottima esperienza, nuova anche da italiano, nel fare la pasta in compagnia, con spiegazione approfondita sulla sul storia e tecnica della pasta legata alla Sicilia e non solo. Oltre alla pasta in se, sebbene la scelta del sugo sia a discrezione di Alice e Francesco, si sono premurati di chiedere in anticipo riguardo ad allergie/intolleranze ed effettivamente la loro scelta è fortemente legata alla stagionalità degli ingredienti e alla tradizione popolare. Nel mio caso, si è fatto un sugo con il tipico broccolo viola dell'Etna arriminato alla palermitana. Alice e Francesco sono molto preparati, oltre ad essere davvero onesti e genuini nel modo di fare. È stato un piacere passare il pomeriggio con loro e con gli altri ospiti in un bell'ambiente internazionale.

"I was passionate about cooking and food since I was a child, accomplices grandmother who loved to cook and the whole family who loves to eat well. I therefore decided to pursue a university career in the field of gastronomy. I have faced a multidisciplinary and holistic path that has treated the world of food at 360 o'clock. I love cooking for my family and for others, starting from the choice of recipes and the selection of ingredients. I like to experiment and I'm particularly passionate about pastry and leavened foods. I do research on ancient cookbooks and asking around, especially older ladies, their family recipes. Sicily, like all Italy, has an invaluable gastronomic heritage, whose recipes and preparations vary from house to house, not only between cities and provinces. This gives the palate the opportunity to enjoy the same traditional dishes with different ingredients, techniques and stories."
