Handmade Orecchiette Workshop: A Taste of Puglia

Good pasta. Great wine. A little flour everywhere.

Join Pastagasm for a playful, hands-on pasta-making experience inspired by the flavors and traditions of Puglia. Led by Chef Alessandra Angiulli, joining us directly from Puglia, you’ll learn how to make authentic orecchiette entirely from scratch—from preparing the dough to shaping those iconic “little ears” by hand.

Once the pasta is ready, we’ll sit down and enjoy it together, finished with fresh cherry tomatoes, basil, extra-virgin olive oil and cacioricotta, alongside a curated Puglian wine pairing.

Come with friends, bring a date or join us solo—no previous cooking experience is required. Just bring your appetite and be ready to roll up your sleeves, get your hands a little messy and have fun!
