Discover the art of handmade pasta in this immersive Italian cooking class in Preston. Inspired by the culinary traditions of Emilia-Romagna, you’ll learn how to create fresh egg pasta from scratch in a relaxed, small-group setting.

During this hands-on experience, you’ll prepare two classic dishes:

• Tagliatelle served with a traditional Bolognese ragù
• Spinach and ricotta ravioli finished with sage and brown butter

Guided step-by-step, you’ll build essential pasta-making skills, including mixing and kneading dough, rolling it through a pasta machine, and shaping both ribbon pasta and filled ravioli. You’ll also learn how to prepare a rich ricotta filling and cook your pasta with authentic Italian techniques.

After cooking, everyone gathers to enjoy a shared meal featuring the dishes you’ve created, along with Italian cured meats and a glass of wine — a true Italian-style feast.

Your instructors The class is led by Marina and Laura, experienced teachers known for their warm, supportive approach. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, they create a welcoming environment where you can learn with confidence.
