“Pasta di Semola” Masterclass & Lunch

If you love the heartiness of rustic, hand-shaped pasta - full of texture, ridges and crevices that hold onto every bit of sauce - this is the workshop for you!

Join Adele in this warm and hands-on pasta making experience, where you’ll discover the art of traditional water-based pasta, just like it’s made in Southern Italy. Unlike egg-based pasta, this dough is made only with semolina flour and water, giving it that famously firm bite and beautiful rough finish that’s perfect for catching sauce. And it is perfect for all the vegan pasta lovers too!

You’ll be guided step by step through the whole process - from kneading to shaping - using time-honoured techniques passed down through Adele’s family. Whether you're a total beginner or a curious cook looking to expand your skills, this class is designed to be relaxed, fun and packed with practical tips.

Once the cooking is done, you’ll sit down to enjoy the fruits of your labour with the rest of the group - a comforting homemade meal and the joy of having created it yourself. You’ll leave with new skills, full bellies, and a deeper connection to Southern Italian cooking.

What’s included:

• How to make pasta dough from scratch using just semolina and water - no eggs required

• Tips on choosing the right semolina and how to blend it with other flours if needed

• How to shape a variety of rustic Southern Italian pasta types - like orecchiette, cavatelli, busiate and more - all by hand or using simple, everyday tools

• How to pair different pasta shapes with the most suitable sauces for maximum flavour

• How to cook and store your fresh pasta properly for future meals

• A seasonal vegetarian sauce to accompany your pasta

• All ingredients and equipment provided

• Complimentary tea and coffee

• Sit-down meal at the end of the class to taste some of your creations

• You will also receive a detailed pasta making recipe card and a gorgeous thank you gift to take home as well as your pasta creations
