Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Fresh pasta cut into irregular shapes with Tuscan meat sauce
  • Ravioli (homemade pasta) with butter and sage
  • Tiramisù with coffee and chocolate chips

In a bright apartment in the historic center of Lucca, among the most beautiful art cities in Tuscany, a cooking class awaits you to learn the secrets of homemade pasta making with fresh eggs, flour and rolling pin.

Following family recipes, we will roll out the pasta sheet for ravioli filled with ricotta and spinach, topped with butter, sage and Parmesan cheese. Instead, for maltagliati we prepare a flavorful meat sauce that must cook for at least two hours. We finish with a typical Italian dessert, tiramisu: a soft mascarpone cream with cookies, coffee and chocolate chips.

My class with Maria was excellent! She had beautiful home and had the cooking area all set up for you to begin making pasta. She taught me how to make ravioli with spinach & ricotta filling, pork tenderloin, tomato pomadora and traditional dessert Castagnaccio. Maria is a great hostess, great cook and great teacher!

Exceptional experience! Novella is an amazing host and teacher. Everything was perfect from her home, the set up, her hospitality…you name it! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

We had an absolutely lovely morning with our delightful teacher Novella and her friendly sidekick Marco. They were both willing and ready to have a laugh and we learned how to make delicious food in an absolutely beautiful environment, with a view of the Guinigi Tower, with its amazing trees. We had a ball and would highly recommend this experience to anyone who really wants to dive into Lucca and it’s warm, welcoming culture!

This class was fun as well as educational! I went by myself and was paired with a lovely family also visiting Lucca. Both the instructor and her assistant were welcoming, engaging, and knew great English. I would do take another course with Novella if I were to visit again!

I was born in Bologna but my roots are here in Tuscany, including in cuisine. From the Lucca cuisine, I love to prepare tordelli with ragù and various soups, from frantoiana to ribollita to pappa al pomodoro, all seasoned with the excellent oil from our hills. The appetizer is always rustic, with excellent unsalted "sciocco" bread bruschetta and Colonnata lard, Igp Sorana beans, black cabbage, and the inevitable chicken livers. To finish sweetly, almond cantucci and grandmother's cream cake.
