About this tour
Spend two and a half hours crafting fresh pasta from scratch using organic ingredients and natural plant-based dyes. Work in an intimate group setting in Italy's pasta heartland, learning techniques to shape and colour your dough without relying on artificial additives. You'll take home the skills to reproduce what you've made at your own kitchen table, plus dietary variations including gluten-free and lactose-free adaptations available on request.
Highlights
- Hand-roll and shape pasta using traditional methods
- Colour dough naturally with vegetable and plant extracts
- Work with certified organic, seasonal ingredients
- Small group ensures personal attention from instructor
- Gluten-free and lactose-free options catered
- Keep your creations to cook at home
What to expect
You'll start by mixing dough with your hands, understanding how hydration and kneading develop the gluten network. The instructor will guide you through incorporating natural colours—beetroot, spinach, turmeric—into separate portions, demonstrating how to achieve vibrant hues without synthetic dyes. You'll then practise shaping: rolling sheets by hand, cutting tagliatelle, forming filled ravioli. Expect flour on your clothes and a genuine feel for the pasta-making rhythm. By the end, you'll have made enough fresh pasta to take home and cook.
Good to know
Apron and slip-on shoes are provided. The workshop runs in a small group setting, so booking ahead is essential. Public transport stops nearby if you're travelling without a car. Arrive having eaten lightly—you'll be tasting your work.
