Hands-On : Filled Pasta - Sardinian Culurgiones

In this class:

Travel to the island of Sardinia through one of its most iconic pasta traditions. Begin your experience with a welcome glass of Prosecco before learning how to prepare fresh pasta dough from scratch. Our Chef of La Scuola will demonstrate the techniques for rolling, filling, and shaping culurgiones—Sardinia's signature stuffed pasta, recognized by its beautiful wheat-like braided seal. You'll then put your new skills into practice by crafting your own traditional culurgiones by hand.

While your chef prepares the featured pasta dish, you'll enjoy an antipasto plate paired with a carefully selected Italian wine. Along the way, you'll discover the techniques and traditions behind this unique Sardinian specialty and gain the confidence to recreate it at home.

About this dish:

Culurgiones are one of Sardinia's most celebrated pasta shapes, originating in the mountainous region of Ogliastra. Filled with a comforting mixture of potatoes, Pecorino cheese, and fresh mint, they are distinguished by their intricate braided closure, said to resemble a stalk of wheat—a symbol of prosperity and gratitude. Traditionally prepared for harvest celebrations, family gatherings, and special occasions, culurgiones reflect the island's rich agricultural heritage and showcase how simple, local ingredients can be transformed into an elegant and deeply meaningful dish.
