  • Strozzapreti with sausage and tomato
  • Ingannaprit with butter, italian ham and shallot
  • Traditional ravioli with butter and sage

In Italian tradition, there are many types of homemade pasta, both made with just flour and water and with egg. Strozzapreti are an example of a water and flour dough. Ingannaprit are egg pasta but are fake cappelletti, while orecchioni are a type of filled egg pasta in the shape of a half-moon. I will tell you about the many variations found in families from the same region and in different Italian regions. Together we will prepare the three types of pasta and their accompanying sauces, which are also linked to the Tuscan-Romagnola tradition.

We had a wonderful afternoon at Luisa's cooking class. So do not hesitate to book. Luisa is a warm and welcoming host who taught us a lot about making pasta. It felt special to be in her home and meet her lovely dog Summer. In total, we made three different types of pasta. We will certainly try to recreate this at home. Luisa's instructions were clear, and she also provided us with information to review later. Thank you, Luisa, for a fun afternoon that ended with a delicious pasta meal.

What a fabulous morning in this lovely lady’s beautiful home learning how to make pasta. My needs were thoughtfully accommodated (wheelchair user). My grown up son and I had an experience to treasure. Highly recommended

So enjoyed the authentic cooking experience from Luisa who shared her heritage, history of Pistoia, family stories, and of course taught us how to make authentic pasta! Highly recommend

We love the place, the house, the information, Luiza! There was so much time for making the pasta, eating and having nice conversations,,,, feels like we’re quests! Our advice: just do it!

Emile & Carmen - 

Luisa, a very kind and helpful hostess, welcomed us into her home and shared some of her knowledge with us. At the end, we cooked together with her and concluded the wonderful morning with a good lunch, good wine, and lots of conversation. An experience to absolutely be had.

"I was born in Romagna, but now after more than 35 years in Pistoia my home is Tuscany. In the green, but a few kilometers from the station and the Piazza del Duomo. I have a creative and curious soul and in the kitchen, through the dishes of the Romagna and Tuscan tradition, I express at best my spirit of welcome. I love to make homemade pasta, bake bread, cook the classic desserts of the tradition."
