Private Cooking Class in the Heart of Rome: 3 Types of Pasta and Wine
Master the art of handmade Italian pasta alongside a Roman chef with two decades of kitchen expertise.
This private pasta cooking class in Rome invites you into the authentic world of Italian cuisine, where tradition, technique, and a genuine passion for food come together. Under the guidance of Chef Christian, a born-and-bred Roman with twenty years of professional experience, you will roll, shape, and sauce your way through three classic pasta dishes.
The session takes place in a welcoming kitchen in the heart of Rome, designed to feel more like a friend's home than a formal cooking school. The relaxed atmosphere encourages questions, experimentation, and plenty of laughter as you work side by side with a chef who genuinely loves what he does.
By the end of the class, you will have produced fettuccine, gnocchi, and cavatelli entirely by hand, gaining a practical understanding of dough ratios, shaping methods, and sauce pairings that you can replicate at home. A glass of wine served during the experience rounds out the session in true Roman style.

What to Expect
Arrive at the cooking venue in central Rome, meet Chef Christian, and receive an overview of the session. The chef will walk you through the ingredients, tools, and core techniques you will use throughout the class.
Begin with the fundamentals of egg-based pasta dough. You will knead, rest, and roll the dough before cutting it into fettuccine ribbons, learning the importance of thickness and texture.
Move on to potato gnocchi, mastering the balance of ingredients that separates light, pillowy results from dense, heavy ones. Chef Christian shares the techniques refined through years of practice.
Shape cavatelli by hand using a simple semolina dough, a pasta style rooted in southern Italian tradition. The chef explains regional context and the best sauce pairings for this format.
