THE ITINERARY

Perfect for a bride to be with a love of food – in this four hour experience you will learn the satisfying skill of making fresh Tagliatelle and Ravioli from scratch, fresh sauces to match and a seasonal dessert to finish, before enjoying your meal together. Set in a stunning space (which you are welcome to decorate), and accompanied by delicious free flowing wine and prosecco, this really will be a hen party experience to remember.

1pm – 1.15pm WELCOME DRINKS AND BRUSCHETTA

The experience is a designed to feel like a “home from home”, and you’ll be warmly welcomed by sisters Charlotte and Claire, ready with fresh bruschetta and the first of many glasses of wine and prosecco! Once you’ve had time to settle in, it’s time to make some pasta!

1.15pm – 4pm MAKING (AND EATING) THE PASTA

Now it’s time for your ‘Pasta e Basta’ class around the kitchen island – the centrepiece to the absolutely gorgeous space that is exclusively yours for the evening. Nothing beats the taste of freshly made pasta, now here’s your chance to discover the art of fresh pasta.

Together you will learn to make fresh Tagliatelle, Tagliolini and Parpadelle as well as a seasonal filled pasta such as Ravioli stuffed with Ricotta and Truffle Oil with an Asparagus Sauce. Everyone will make their own pasta dough before working in pairs to roll out the dough and shape the ravioli. You’ll also create two pasta sauces to match the types of pasta. Matching sauces and pasta is an art in itself! All of this will of course be topped with a lovely seasonal dessert and accompanied with a lovely flow of prosecco and Italian wines throughout the class (non alcoholic drinks include lemonade, sparkling orange and elderflower).

Once the cooking is done you will sit down together to enjoy the Italian feast you have prepared!
