Siena province boasts a pasta champion: the *pici*. These handmade noodles, thicker than spaghetti, are a local legend. The very act of shaping them – rolling and rubbing the dough – is called "appiciare," a term whispered in the Tuscan dialect. This rustic recipe is surprisingly simple, perfect even for kitchen novices.
During this hands-on pasta-making class, you'll master not only *pici*, but also delicate *tagliatelle*. You'll also learn how to craft delicious sauces, including rich meat ragù, pungent *aglione* sauce, and the classic *cacio e pepe* ("cheese and pepper"). With the expert guidance of our local chefs, recreating these Tuscan delights at home will be a breeze. You'll be amazed at how easily you'll impress your friends and family!
The class culminates in a delightful lunch featuring your freshly made pasta, expertly paired with a Tuscan wine. And as a memento of your culinary adventure, you'll receive a chef's apron – a symbol of your newfound pasta-making prowess.
