### Why Take This Tour?
Most travelers eat pasta in Rome. But only a lucky few learn to make it from scratch—with wine in hand, flour on their fingertips, and a Roman chef by their side. In this __intimate Rome pasta making class__, you’ll unlock the secrets of two Italian icons: __handmade pasta__ and velvety __gelato__. Limited to just 14 guests in our __private Rome cooking school__, this isn’t just a meal—it’s a memory you’ll take home (and recreate in your own kitchen).
### Welcome to Our Kitchen in Trastevere
Your Rome pasta making class starts with a welcome glass of prosecco, traditional Italian snacks, and conversation with fellow students and the local chefs who teach the class. Once all the introductions have been made, it’s time to learn how to make __fettucine__ and __ravioli__ with one red and one white sauce—such as *amatriciana*, *puttanesca*, butter-sage and Parmigiano, or *cacio e pepe*, depending on the season.
### Roll, Fill, and Master the Art of Pasta
You’ll learn every step and do it all yourself in this Rome pasta making class: from __mixing the ingredients__ to __kneading the dough__ and __making the sauce__. No previous experience is necessary—your chef will guide you through the whole process and answer any questions you have. It's a great experience for seasoned cooks, amateurs, and even *bambini* (kids)!
Throughout the experience, your chef will teach you __take-home tricks__ for cooking the perfect pasta, such as the different uses of various flours, how to pair pasta with sauce, and the best substitute ingredients you can source at home.
### Sit Down to the Meal You Created
The highlight of your Rome pasta making class will be gathering around the table with your new friends to enjoy your hard work. After enjoying your pasta with plenty of Italian wine, wrap it all up with a __homemade dessert of gelato__, presented to you by your chef while your pasta settles. You truly are doing as the Romans do now!
__Small groups__ are what make our Rome cooking classes such enjoyable experiences. With only 14 people or fewer, you’ll find it easy to get to know the rest of your group and have plenty of time to chat with the chef. Our cooking school is equipped with __modern kitchens__ and __brand new appliances__ to give you the best pasta-making experience.
