Class description

Where can you take a Corzetti cooking class in Florence?

Your English-speaking professional chef from Florence will take you through the creation of the pasta dough, then a variety of special shapes, and of course the best fillings and sauces. Your wonderful hands-on cooking class at MaMa Florence ends with a full meal of prepared dishes, including the most beautiful and delicious pasta in the world.


What do you do in the Corzetti cooking class in Florence?

Explore this beautiful Ligurian culinary tradition as you learn about and create historic Corzetti pasta and other fresh pasta dishes! Under the careful guidance of our English-speaking chef you will learn how to prepare the fresh pasta dough using only the best local ingredients. Next you will be introduced to the ancient tradition once used by noble families to print their family shields and symbols onto their pasta. Artisan woodworkers in both Tuscany and Liguria are still creating the two-piece wooden Corzetti tool – the first part being a round cutter and the second being the engraved stamp that embosses the pasta with an intricate hand-carved symbol of choice.  You will get to try your hand at this special technique, producing arguably the most beautiful and intricate pasta you have ever seen. 

In addition to making Corzetti pasta, you will create two other shapes such as ravioli, tagliatelle, or gnocchi. Your chef will also lead you through the preparation of several scrumptious seasonal pasta sauces, including an explanation of the perfect way that the Corzetti stamped pasta is able to “hold” the sauce. If you fall in love with Corzetti pasta, you can purchase a beautiful handmade olive wood Corzetti tool in the MaMa Florence gift shop to take home with you so you can create the pasta for your next gathering of friends or family and introduce them to this special pasta.
