In the picturesque Province of Siena, a culinary gem awaits discovery - the iconic pici, a beloved pasta dish crafted by skilled hands. This traditional treat is thicker than spaghetti, achieved through a labor-intensive process of rolling and kneading the dough with a gentle yet firm touch, a technique affectionately known as "appiciare" in the local dialect. Unlike other intricate recipes, pici is surprisingly accessible, even for novice cooks. Our expert instructors will guide you through the art of creating not only pici but also mouth-watering tagliatelle and rich sauces to complement your creations, including hearty meat ragout, pungent aglione, and the classic cacio e pepe. With our expert guidance, you'll be whipping up these Tuscan staples like a pro in no time. At the conclusion of this immersive cooking experience, indulge in your freshly prepared first courses, perfectly paired with a selection of fine wines.
