Salento pasta making class in Vernole
Orecchiette, minchiareddi and sagne ncannulate, shaped by your own hands on a masseria.
What you do
In Salento pasta is still made by hand, and every shape has its own move. In this class you learn three: orecchiette, minchiareddi and sagne ncannulate, the twisted ribbons.
You work with Senatore Cappelli durum wheat flour. Knead, cut, drag with the knife or roll between your fingers, and little by little the shapes appear.
It lasts one hour, and at the end you taste the pasta you made. It is hands-on and friendly, even if you rarely cook at home.
By bike
The masseria is in Vernole, and an hour of pasta fits nicely into a day in the saddle. Stop halfway through your ride, lock the bike with the lock we provide and set off again with lunch already sorted.
The same farm also offers an olive oil tasting and a cheese tasting. If you want two on the same day, tell me and I will build the quote with bikes, a self-guided route and the right times. Pick-up and return are free in Lecce, San Foca and Calimera.
