Pasta workshop

Pasta Making Workshop: Learn from an Italian 'Mamma'

Just as our grandmothers baked their own bread, the Marchigiano nonne still make fresh pasta every day. You don't need much: flour, eggs, a pinch of salt, and a healthy dose of passion.

Want to master this craft yourself? Carla welcomes you to her idyllic farm near Staffolo. She grows her own wheat, which is ground into perfect flour at an ancient mill. Together, you’ll prepare the dough and a fresh sauce using vegetables or wild herbs from her garden.

The workshop concludes with a shared meal in a beautiful location, where you’ll enjoy the pasta you made yourself. For those interested, Carla is happy to share her extensive knowledge of wild plants and edible flowers found on her estate.

Note: All our activities and workshops are exclusively available to guests staying at La Girandola.
