Pumpkin Pasta Roses
Pumpkin risotto
With autumn comes the desire for home, warmth, and enveloping aromas. And what could be better than pumpkin, with its sweet and comforting flavor? In this lesson, we will prepare fresh pasta roses stuffed with pumpkin, seasoned with butter and sage, and a creamy risotto with pumpkin and mild gorgonzola, an irresistible combination of softness and flavor. All this will be accompanied by a glass of red wine to celebrate the most authentic colors and flavors of autumn.
We had a wonderful evening with Anna and her daughter Maria in their lovely home, learning how to make Pappa al Pomodoro, Gnudi and a beautiful Torta della Nonna. Each of the five of us participated in the cooking process which was followed by a fabulous meal, enjoying the fruits of our labor as well as the company of Anna and Maria over a glass of wine! It was a wonderful evening and we highly recommend it to all those looking for a unique Tuscan experience!

What an amazing experience with Anna and her English translator Diba. Held in Anna's beautiful home she made us feel like family. My husband does not like liver and loved the liver on the crostini so much that he wanted the recipe. Everything was mouth-watering delicious. We would do this all over again. Thank you!

Our time with Anna and Laura (translator) was so special. Anna was an amazing chef and a great instructor. The food was incredible, something you can’t have anywhere else. We enjoyed our experience and talked for hours. This was a once in a lifetime experience and would 100% recommend this to anyone coming to the area.
