Do you want to learn how to make pasta from scratch and have fun creating different pasta shapes to enjoy with delicious sauces? Do you want to spend a relaxed evening in a cozy setting making connections with fellow attendees? Then this Amsterdam cooking workshop is for you!
In this cooking class you will learn how to make pasta dough using flour and water. Then, you will learn how to make traditional pasta shapes: spizzulus from Sardinia (pictured above) and a long, stuffed pappardella! (Pictured below). All cooking skill levels are welcome 
We will prepare two seasonal pasta sauces and the filling. We will pair the sauces with the pasta: a vegan pesto for the spizzulus, and a sweet and rich tomato sauce with basil for the stuffed pappardella. The stuffing will be a base of ricotta, spinach and minced beef (vegetarian and vegan alternatives available).
This Amsterdam cooking workshop will be pretty hands on, as the purpose is for you to learn by doing how to make these recipes so that you can easily replicate them at home and boost your cooking skills!
Each cooking class will have 8 to 12 people. You can come by yourself or bring your friends to this fun activity! For bigger or private groups/events, please contact me. Prices to be discussed.
The pasta workshops last an average of 4 hours. We’ll start with a small aperitif to get to know each other, then we’ll make the dessert and the pasta, to enjoy with a nice glass of wine (or two ;D).
The cost for the cooking workshop is €62 per person. Group booking discounts available! Register below – You will receive an email with a Tikkie link to pay to confirm attendance.

The cooking workshops will often take place on Friday evenings (18.00-22.00).

“We celebrated a friend’s birthday here – a great and very memorable experience. We had a lot of fun, learning how to make delicious pasta together and asking Micaela all kinds of questions. She was super patient, professional but approachable and prepared, as we started the evening off with an aperitif and snacks. Definitely recommend the class for both learning and as a lovely activity with your closest!”
