Make Handmade Sicilian Pasta After a Local Market Tour
Join our handmade pasta class in Palermo and discover what makes traditional Sicilian pasta so unique — no eggs, just flour, water, and a lot of love. You’ll learn to prepare two different types of pasta: cavatelli and busiate, each paired with a distinct seasonal sauce.
The experience begins with a walking tour of the colorful Capo Market, where you’ll explore local stalls, meet friendly vendors, and select the freshest ingredients with your chef. Along the way, take in the vibrant sounds, scents, and sights of Palermo’s historical center.
After the market, we head to our cooking studio inside a historic 18th-century Palazzo Asmundo. You’ll be welcomed with a glass of Sicilian wine before starting the pasta-making workshop, where you’ll knead, roll, and shape the dough entirely by hand.
From Fresh Dough to Full Sicilian Lunch
Once the pasta is ready, you’ll continue preparing your full Sicilian lunch using the ingredients you selected earlier. The meal typically includes:
- Two handmade pasta dishes (primi)
- A main course (fish or meat)
- A side dish such as eggplant caponata or seasonal vegetables
- A traditional dessert
Throughout the preparation, you’ll taste local wines, cheeses, olives, and extra virgin olive oil made in our countryside estate in Reitano. You’ll also hear stories about Sicilian food culture and get plenty of hands-on experience with traditional techniques.
Enjoy, Relax and Take Sicily Home With You
After about 2.5 hours of cooking, we gather around the table to enjoy the delicious dishes we’ve created — always ending with a glass of homemade limoncello!
Each guest receives a certificate of accomplishment signed by the chef. Want to recreate the experience at home?
