Make fresh pasta in Olbia, Sardinia - join a hands-on workshop and tasting

Join this hands-on pasta workshop in Amel with Varoom and learn to make traditional homemade Sardinian pasta while an expert guide accompanies you step-by-step - from shaping semolina malloreddus (gnocchetti) with their thin striped-shell form to crafting culurgiones, the potato, pecorino and mint–filled ravioli specialty of Ogliastra in Central Eastern Sardinia. The lab runs about 2:30h and highlights seasonal fillings and classic Sardinian pairings, including meat sauces and grated pecorino for tasting; afterward you’ll enjoy a roughly 1h tasting of everything you prepared, paired with water, wine, fruit, typical Sardinian sweets, digestives and coffee. This immersive food-and-culture experience in Sardinia is ideal for food lovers, families and groups booking through Varoom, and if you have any intolerances you must contact the phone number on your booking voucher as soon as possible.

Summary: Isabella is an absolute gem. Funny, witty, and a great instructor. The pasta dishes were absolutely delicious. Butter sage sauce for the ravioli and a lovely tomato sauce for the other.

Summary: We had a great time with Isabella and she was very patient with our 6-year-old who loved the class and was totally absorbed in making his pasta the entire time. We didn’t all get the culurgiones shape right. Our only feedback is that we would have benefited from more expert help in getting our culurgiones to look like Isabella’s! Everyone loved the sparkling wine also. Grazie mille, Isabella.
