Description
We recommend our basic cooking classes to the people who approach for the first time to the Tuscan cooking tradition … to dishes with special flavors which are prepared using only the best local products other than those of our own vegetable garden. You will learn to prepare handmade pasta, ravioli, ribollita .. and other delicious recipes of our area .. plunging fully into a family atmosphere and into a location of rare beauty.
The experience of handmade pasta is certainly the most suited to become familiar with the basics of our cuisine and with our beautiful country, since pasta in its various types is the common thread between all of our regions: from north to south, crossing the center of Italy and reaching the islands. If you pay specific attention, you will notice that wherever you taste this delicacy you immediately recognize the culinary history of the place. This is why we highly recommend for you our Pasta making class in San Gimignano, beautiful city not far from Florence and Siena.
The simplicity of the preparation makes this course suitable for everyone, young and old. We propose a pasta cooking class lasting a total of about 4 hours, where we learn how to prepare an excellent dough that can be useful for many types of pasta.
In our pasta cooking class experience, we will focus on the long pasta such as fettuccine, tagliatelle, tagliolini, pappardelle, spaghetti etc. etc. .. and on the stuffed pasta such as ravioli, tortellini, triangoli, mezzelune, fagottini and so on and so forth.
Even if handmade pasta or ravioli mixed with just a splash of Tuscan olive oil and some cheese are delicious in their simplicity, we will also cook excellent sauces to go with them. (The preparation of the type of sauces will depend strictly on the season in which the course takes place).
In the end we will relax with a nice glass of wine and a good plate of freshly made pasta, surrounded by a view which will make our hearts melt and enhance our palates ….
We also prepare a desert and a bruschetta as an appetizer

We had the most amazing experience at the cooking class with Chef Mauro in Tuscany! It was fun, unique, and absolutely delicious – truly one of the highlights of our trip. Mauro was an absolute star: super professional, talented, and made the whole experience unforgettable. We enjoyed every minute.
Highly recommend to anyone in the area – book a class with him, you won’t regret it!

I wish there was a way to rate higher than 5 stars!
My girlfriend and I recently took the Montese Cooking Class and it was one of the best parts of our week in Italy. Mauro made sure everyone was involved in every step of his full Tuscan menu while keeping it fun for everyone. Not to mention, the food we shared at the end of the class was incredible.
I’d highly recommend this to anyone traveling through beautiful Toscana!

Was für ein toller Abend! Wir hatten einen grandiosen Pasta Kochkurs gemeinsam mit Mauro und der Crew! Wir haben nicht nur einiges an Wissen dazugelernt sondern hatten viel mehr einen richtig schönen Abend, denn darum geht es, Pasta & Amore mit Freunden und Familie!
Ein Erlebnis, dass wir jedem wärmstens empfehlen würden!
Grazie Mauro!

I can not recommend this experience more. It was INCREDIBLE! The highlight of our trip! Chef Mauro was hilarious, full of energy and so much FUN! We had such a fabulous time and the pasta he taught us how to cook was absolutely incredible. He made us feel comfortable and at home. He gave us many tips and we even got to try his new rose he was testing (spoiler alert: it was INCREDIBLE). Thank you Chef Mauro for the most incredible day!

Fantastische ervaring. We hebben deze kookworkshop gedaan met een vriendengroep van 19 man en hebben allemaal enorm genoten. Mauro en zijn personeel zijn super enthousiast en gastvrij. Echt een aanrader om deze kookworkshop te doen als je in de buurt van San Gimignano bent!
