Italian food is an Aussie staple – we love the flavours of the beautiful boot shaped country almost more than any other cuisine. With this Pasta Making & Italian Sauces Cooking Class, they can learn to cook some favourite pasta dishes with ease to delight their visitors, or simply create a delicious dish for one. With nearly 10 years’ experience, they will be interactively guided through this intimate class by an enthusiastic teacher that will truly inspire.

Set in gorgeous Noosa on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, the participants will first enjoy a gourmet coffee and freshly baked muffin on arrival, before getting stuck into the fun part, where they will use the freshest local ingredients to create delicious meals with a stunning tropical backdrop. After all the cooking is complete, they will then enjoy their efforts with a sit down feast, complete with a couple of glasses of matched wine, and a chat with their newly made friends.

They will learn to make fresh egg pasta from scratch using a provided pasta maker, and taught how to shape it into spaghetti, fettucine and stracci to suit different dishes. To compliment this freshly made deliciousness, the students will then learn the basics of 3 different pasta sauces – smoked salmon and creamy lemon sauce, pesto alla Genovese, and the classic spicy Italian sausage sauce. With these sauces all designed to tantalise the taste buds, they will finish up learning the tricks to a simple 10-minute tiramisu to satisfy the sweet tooth.

All of the meals created throughout the class will be available to take home in a folder complete with an ingredients list, class notes, fact sheets, and an easy step by step breakdown of the recipe to make sure the skills can be taken from the classroom to the kitchen at home.

It doesn’t matter if they have been into cooking for 20 minutes or 20 years, this fun, relaxed and easy to follow class is a great gift idea for any skill level. Our vouchers are available in your email inbox immediately after purchase, and can be used for 12 months thereafter. All arrangements will be made directly through the experience provider.
