- So we're on our way to the apartment
to start our cooking class,
and we're about to learn how to make
pasta from scratch,
authentic Italian style.
(Italian guitar music)
Oh my god!
It's so pretty,
it's like a magical garden up here.
(gentle Italian music)
- Salute!
- [All] Salute!
- Tonight we are not just making pasta,
but we are trying to share time
around the table,
share time cooking, preparing a meal,
it's big part of our life.
And this is basically
what Italian food is.
It's emotional, it's
cooking with your heart.
(faint talking and laughing)
- Be quite generous with the filling
because it's delicious.
It's ricotta, spinach, and lemon zest.
Okay, so this is our chittara,
it's a machine for making
the spaghetti and the fettucine.
(Italian guitar music)
The guanciale, which is the pig's cheek,
that's being sauteed,
and now the tomato sauce
is just being mixed in as well,
with a little bit of the
guanciale and the oil.
Pasta is almost ready.
- The food we got to eat was amazing.
Everyone in the group made it,
so it was an awesome experience
to kinda all come together
and eat something that we put together.
- The pasta was very fresh, very good.
- Yeah, we definitely
recommend this cooking class.
I mean, it's been a lot of fun.
It's just a full
experience and it's a meal.
- It's so good (laughing).
- [Chef] Best memories
are around the table.
And in this country it's such a thing.
- Because if you spend your
whole day making pasta,
that is gonna make you a special person.
Like I wanna hug someone that spends
five hours making something.
(Italian guitar music)
- I've learned so much
about Italian cooking
that I did not know before.
I cannot wait to get home
in the kitchen and try this
and eat it all again.
