In the heart of Catania, you'll join a hands-on home cooking class led by a passionate local chef. You’ll learn to prepare fresh pasta from scratch, including pistachio-filled ravioli, caserecce and gnocchetti, and pick up traditional Sicilian techniques as you work. Along the way you’ll discover how to pair your pasta with classic sauces such as Pasta alla Norma, aromatic Trapanese pesto and flavours from the Aeolian style.
After the cooking session, you’ll sit down to enjoy the meal you’ve prepared, accompanied by carefully selected local wines chosen to enhance each dish. The experience is aimed at food lovers who want to embrace Sicilian traditions, build practical cooking skills and savour the essence of Catania’s vibrant food culture. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cook, you’ll leave with new recipes to try at home, culinary techniques you can use again, and memories of an authentic Sicilian meal.
