Make Pasta Like Italians Do: An Intimate Hands-On Experience in Dallas

At La Cucina Segreta by Olio&Olive, we don’t start with fancy techniques — we start with real Italian ingredients and the knowledge to choose them correctly.

In this intimate, hands-on class led by an Italian importer and food professional, you’ll learn how Italians actually select flour, understand dough, and prepare fresh pasta at home — then make your own tagliatelle and fettuccine from scratch to take home.

With only 6 guests per class, this is a relaxed, personal experience designed to feel like cooking around a kitchen island in an Italian home — educational, fun, and unforgettable.

This is not just a traditional cooking class.

It’s an ingredient-first masterclass where you’ll learn:

• Why the flour you use matters more than the recipe
• How Italians judge pasta dough by touch and texture
• What makes real fresh pasta different from store-bought
• How to replicate authentic results at home

Then you’ll put everything into practice by preparing fresh egg pasta by hand.

While the dough rests, you’ll enjoy a small Italian antipasto selection and continue learning about the ingredients you’re working with.
