What To Expect

Master the flavors of home made pasta Sardinian cuisine—like al dente gnochetti Sardi doused in flavory sauce and bruschetta topped with bright, sun-ripened tomatoes—during this hands-on pasta cooking class you will learn how to prepare fresh pasta and to cook it the Sardinian way, while learning also other side food tips for a good meal! .
Make your way a few minutes out of town to a farmhouse in the countryside, where you're welcomed in by your friendly hosts and led into the kitchen. Immerse yourself in the Sardinian life style as you're introduced to gourmet products and locally grown ingredients!

Surely you happened to go to friends' house and cook together ... here's, this is what we will do: we will prepare "fresh pasta", I will teach you how to make a good sauce with simple ingredients; during our work will be offered a small aperitif with local cool cuts and cheeses; I will tell you some curiosity about the gastronomic specialties of Sardinia and, finally, you can taste the result of your work accompanied by a good glass of wine of our production: it is open to all friends and you could sit at the table with unknown people but you'll feel like at home.

Such a wonderful and very personable experience. Irene was patient and such a great teacher!! My husband and I learned how to make several types of pasta including ravioli. We were served a delicious meal by their pool. We also learned about the Sardinian culture. Thank you!! Highlight of our time in Alghero.

An incredible and learning experience.
Steven_F, Oct 2023
Irena was wonderful-an excellent host, teacher and cook. Pasta making was hands-on and entertaining at the same time. Our meal, wine, and storytelling after the pasta class topped off an incredible experience.
Lovely pasta making class

Irene was amazing. Fantastic experience. We really enjoyed our afternoon. Would definitely recommend.
Wonderful family experience! You'll never want store-bought pasta again!
Arleen_A, Jul 2022
Irene was a wonderful host and instructor! Her beautiful house outside Alghero was the perfect setting for cooking and eating - such a warm family, and friendly dogs. We made 3-4 types of pastas in all. Irene's instructions were simple and fun, and she patiently answered lots of questions on the sauces, ingredients and general cooking. I'll always remember this beautiful experience whenever "I make" pasta. Thanks Irene and family for hosting us! Also Cheers to our 3 cooking companion new friends!
Lovely day for the whole family
Jennifer_S, Jun 2022
Fantastic day with wonderful hosts! We learned all the magic of pasta making and enjoyed a wonderful lunch by the pool. The food was fantastic!
Disappointing.
Colette_W, Jun 2022
This is not a cooking experience. It is a pasta making course. While we enjoyed learning how to make and roll pasta we did not learn, about or how to cook the pasta or how to make any sauces to accompany the pastas. (The secrets of traditional Sardinian home cooking remain a mystery unfortunately). We prepared 4 types of pasta and only sampled 2. The outline of the course specified we would use fresh produce, meat, fish and olive oil, we did not use meat, fish or olive oil. It also outlined that we would prepare a four course meal, beyond making pasta (not cooking) we did not prepare any of our meal. For 100 euro per person we did not think it was good value and we're disappointed. The family running the course were welcoming.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
I am sorry we did not meet your expectation. We will work harder to have the experience in line with what described and offered. Consider that 30% of the price goes to Tripadvisor so i believe the price is more than fair for what is offered and the time dedicated to you. regards
Highly recommended ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

We both had a wonderful time learning how to make pasta. Irene met us with a warm welcome and guided us through the classic Italian craft in her beautifully rustic countryside home.
A must!
David_D, May 2022
Highly recommended! Irene and Gabriele are very welcoming and patient with first timers :). A great experience ending with a spectacular lunch and home grown wine!
Best genuine Sardinian experience!
AMY_H, Apr 2022
This was an incredible experience all around! Irene welcomed us into her lovely and quaint house in the Sardinian countryside. She showed all of us how to make incredible homemade pasta in different shapes with various tools. Our pasta was then prepared for us into some of the best dishes I have ever eaten, along with anti pasta plate, bread, dessert, coffee and liquor. We had lovely company with a family from Holland working alongside us. The whole experience was perfectly lovely. The hostess is a joy. Do not miss out on this opportunity!!
Wonderful experience!
Patrycja_P, Apr 2022
It was wonderful experience. We spent 3 hours in real Italian kitchen at farmhouse. Prepared meals were delicious. Additionally, we were provided in appetizers, spritz and a lot of wine :) Totally reccomemended!!!
Farmhouse cooking class just outside Alghero
Michelle_M, Oct 2021
Irene was a gracious, lovely host. The class was very well-organized + included good little tips/tricks for cooking, a gourmet meal to finish + take-home recipes. We made ravioli, gnocchetti, tagliatelle, and pastella. And she treated us to homemade seadas, which are a traditional Sard dessert - they were heavenly!! 6 people max - we loved our cooking mates too. Highly recommend!
The meal was delicious...

What a nice experience! Irene and her family know how to cook the best Sardenian food. Irene explains how to make different sorts of pasta. We Made pasta within aprox. 2 hrs. And afterwards we had a complete Sardenian dinner inclusive a Real Sardenian dolce at the end. Everything in a very cosy ambiance!! Don’t miss this during your stay.
Fabulous experience
Yvonne_H, Jul 2021
Fabulous. Irene is a great cook, we learned a lot, definitely worth it! We will be sure to go back the next time we come to Sardinië!!
Fantastic experience, great host, super food!
Ralph_H, Oct 2020
We were received by our host Irene and her husband and son who both helped her in the background. Irene is a great cook and host, and knows how to pass on her knowledge to us, a family of three with a 19-year old son. Understanding the different types of flour, creating various pasta forms and fillings, all accompanied with helpful comments made the hours pass very quickly. And yes, there was food, plenty of it! Some homemade appetizers, bread, water and wine, and finally the highlight(s): our own pasta. It was a fantastic experience and I would recommend this for families or friends, with or without cooking experience.
