Handmade Fresh Pasta & Traditional Abruzzese Dessert Cooking Class at a Agriturismo

Step into the authentic culinary traditions of Abruzzo with a unique Cooking Class & Show Cooking experience at a traditional farmhouse, hosted by two genuine Abruzzese women who have grown up with the recipes, techniques and food traditions of this extraordinary region.

This is much more than a cooking lesson: it is an opportunity to meet local women, share their passion for Abruzzese cuisine and discover the stories and traditions that have been passed down through generations.

The experience begins with the preparation of Chitarrina alla Teramana, one of the most distinctive fresh pasta dishes from the province of Teramo. Together with your hosts, you will prepare the pasta from scratch using a traditional rolling pin and the characteristic “Lu Carratore”, the traditional stringed pasta cutter that gives Chitarrina its unmistakable shape.

You will then learn how to prepare its rich and traditional sauce, made with tomato sauce and tiny meatballs, a combination that is particularly characteristic of the Teramo area.

Once the cooking is complete, sit down and enjoy the dish you have prepared yourself, accompanied by a glass of Abruzzese DOC wine.

The experience then continues with a special live Show Cooking dedicated to ferratelle, one of Abruzzo’s most beloved traditional sweets. Watch your hosts prepare these thin, crisp waffles traditionally flavored with anise, while discovering the stories, techniques and customs behind this iconic local treat.

To finish, enjoy freshly prepared ferratelle filled with scrucchiata, the traditional Abruzzese grape jam, together with a coffee.

Throughout the experience, your two authentic Abruzzese hosts will share not only their recipes and cooking techniques, but also their personal knowledge of the culinary heritage of their homeland.

Come as a guest, cook like a local and experience Abruzzo through the women who keep its culinary traditions alive.
