Why a Pasta-Making Class
The One Skill to Take Home From Italy
If you learn one thing in Italy, make it pasta. In a hands-on class you’ll mix egg and flour into a dough, roll it thin, and cut or shape it into fresh tagliatelle, ravioli, or tortellini — then eat what you made with a sauce you cooked, usually with wine throughout. Rome offers the most classes and the best value, many with tiramisu and a Vatican-side setting. Bologna — the food capital of Italy — is the homeland of tagliatelle al ragù and hand-folded tortellini, the place to learn the real Emilian technique. Beyond them you can roll orecchiette with the nonne of Bari, bigoli in Venice, busiate in Palermo, or pici in Tuscany — each city brings its own shapes and sauces.
