Handmade Pici Pasta Workshop

I'm excited to announce that I'll be putting my teaching hat back on and offering hands-on cooking workshops. In these workshops, you'll learn how to prepare the food you'll be eating while creating your cookbook journal. This journal will include recipes, instructions, and space for your notes and ideas. 

Some dishes are more than recipes—they’re memories carried in flavor. The inspiration for this third course comes from a magical evening in Florence, at a small, charming restaurant called B.O.r.G.O. After a delightful meal, the owner joined us at the table, sharing stories of Tuscan food, tradition, and the beauty of simple, local ingredients. It was there I first discovered pici pasta—a rustic, hand-rolled noodle made from nothing more than 00 flour and pure water. His passion for this humble staple left an impression so deep that I knew it had to become part of our journey together.

In this workshop, we’ll honor that inspiration by making pici the traditional way: no machines, no shortcuts, just your hands and a little patience. We’ll roll thick strands of pasta, cook them to a perfect bite, and pair them with a classic Tuscan sauce that lets their chewy, satisfying texture shine.

What you’ll experience:

• Learn the history and charm of pici pasta

• Hands-on dough mixing and hand-rolling technique

• Sauce pairings that celebrate Tuscan flavors

• A communal meal of the pasta you’ve created, shared with wine and good company

Come ready to connect with tradition, enjoy the romance of simplicity, and taste the heart of Tuscany in every bite.
