Alghero: Sardinian Home-Cooking Class and Meal

We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Irene and her son Gabriele during our cooking class! As part of a large family vacation, we were welcomed like old friends into their beautiful farmhouse, surrounded by stunning countryside that made the perfect backdrop for the day. Irene and Gabriele guided us through the art of making homemade pasta-both tagliatelle and ravioli-with so much warmth, patience, and expertise. It was hands-on, engaging, and so much fun for all ages in our group. The joy of learning together as a family made it incredibly special. After cooking, we got to sit down and enjoy the fruits of our labor, and were treated to a full, delicious meal that went well beyond just the pasta we made. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with love. This was more than a cooking class-it was a truly heartwarming cultural and culinary experience. Thank you, Irene and Gabriele, for a highlight of our trip. We’ll treasure the memories (and the recipes!) forever.

A Wonderful Pasta-Making Experience in Sardinia with Irene I had the most amazing experience learning how to make fresh pasta in Sardinia, guided by the lovely Irene. The workshop took place in an idyllic, peaceful location that made the whole experience even more special. Irene was warm, patient, and passionate about sharing the secrets of traditional Sardinian pasta. During the course, we learned how to prepare several types of pasta, each with its own story and unique technique. It was hands-on, fun, and very well explained, even for beginners. The best part was that after all the hard work, we got to enjoy a delicious meal prepared by our host, featuring the pasta we made together. It felt like a true home-cooked Sardinian feast. This experience was not just a cooking class—it was a beautiful cultural exchange that I will always remember. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sardinia who wants to dive into the local culinary traditions in a warm, authentic setting.
