According to reviews, the chef makes the process seem very straightforward, which helps even beginners feel confident.

Next, you move on to the pasta-making part of the class. The chef shares nonna’s secrets, guiding you through creating your own dough for both fettuccine and ravioli. The process is designed to be accessible, with detailed instructions that ensure everyone can follow along. As one participant from the US noted, “Making pasta from scratch was fun and surprisingly easy.” The recipes are straightforward but flavorful — you’ll learn how to prepare Fettuccine with a sauce of your choice (think tomato and basil, Cacio e Pepe, or Amatriciana) and Ravioli with Butter and Sage.

The class’s strength lies in its teaching style. Many reviewers mention how engaging and clear their instructors were, making the experience less intimidating and more fun. For example, Helena from Portugal said, “I had the best time cooking with Furio — and the pasta turned out delicious!” The guidance ensures you’re learning techniques that can be easily replicated at home, even if you’re new to Italian cooking.
