In this unique Italian cooking class, you will explore the art of handmade pasta while rediscovering authentic, lesser-known recipes from Italy’s rich culinary heritage. You will learn to prepare two distinct pasta doughs, each used in a different traditional dish.

The class begins with a classic semolina dough to create gnocchi rigati, served alla Sorrentina - a beloved recipe from the Amalfi Coast. You will then move on to an egg pasta dough, which will be transformed into an elegant filled pasta. Together, we will elevate the raviolo by enclosing an egg yolk, an impressive and indulgent dish ideal for a special dinner party.

This hands-on experience is suitable for all skill levels and is guided by Sofia, who will offer clear, step-by-step instruction and personalised support throughout the session. Throughout the class, you will gain practical techniques and insider tips for crafting exceptional fresh pasta, working with high-quality ingredients and professional kitchen tools.

At the end of the class, you will enjoy the reward of cooking by sitting down as a class to tuck into your creations along with a glass of wine or soft drink. You will leave not only with new skills and confidence in pasta making, but also with a deeper appreciation for Italian cuisine and the simple joy of creating beautiful food from scratch.

About Sofia

Born and raised in the heart of Cilento, a stunning UNESCO National Park in Southern Italy, Sofia Gallo’s culinary journey began in her nonna’s kitchen. It was there she mastered the ritual of fresh pasta and slow-fermented breads, learning that food is not just nourishment, but a language of love, tradition, and community. Now based in Buckinghamshire, Sofia is a multi-award-winning chef, notably reaching the quarter-finals of MasterChef UK 2021. Her signature dishes earned her high praise from John Torode, who described her work as being “styled with class.” Beyond the screen, Sofia won the ICG Cooking Competition and serves as a Great Taste Judge and luxury food stylist for iconic brands like Riso Gallo and Cole & Mason to name a few.

As a teacher, Sofia specializes in authentic Italian "slow food", from hand-rolled pasta to artisan sourdough. Her classes are designed to be immersive, educational, and above all, approachable.

You will be learning in a beautifully designed kitchen which provides a warm welcoming environment that can accommodate everything from group cookery classes to intimate chef’s tables, with the versatility to suit everyone.

Our partners have been chosen with great care, as all our equipment must stand up to the day-to-day rigours of our cookery school – much like a professional kitchen, that you can enjoy using whilst creating your own amazing dishes in class to give you the best possible experience when cooking with us.

Our classes and outstanding range of teachers will help you hone your gastronomic skills, even if you are a complete novice or a dab hand in the kitchen. We love highlighting new upcoming food trends and championing the rising stars within the culinary world.
