Cold cream of courgette with mozzarella, origano and anchovy
Homemade egg traditional pasta similar to maccheroni with season vegetables
Home made ice-cream stracciatella and season fresh fruit
Here is a summer offering from the Tuscan farming tradition. The experience will take place in the large kitchen with access to the garden and surrounding nurseries. You will taste an original appetiser served with slices of homemade bread and be surprised by homemade garganelli with seasonal vegetable sauce: a unique egg pasta, shaped with a wooden comb. The meal will end with homemade ice cream and fresh seasonal fruit.
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.

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.

Mani in pasta -
This pasta class was so much more than just a pasta class. Luisa was warm, funny, patient, and taught us about the history of the pasta along with how to make it. We felt so comfortable in her home. It was a peaceful place- perfect for learning a new skill. We highly recommend this experience!

"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."
