If you've got a passion for pasta, come along and broaden your horizons at this London pasta making class! Led by Silvana, a Naples native and a true pasta aficionado, you'll learn the dying art of making incredible pasta from scratch, completely by hand.
While we enjoy a wide variety of pasta in the UK, there's a whole world of different shapes available in Italy just waiting to be discovered at this fun, laid-back cooking class. Silvana will share with you the best techniques to recreate these tasty, traditional pastas, all done completely by hand — no machine required!
You'll learn how to blend flours according to the type of pasta you're making, the best kneading techniques for pasta dough, and how to pull and handle the dough into shape. While your pasta cooks, you'll also pick up some tasty secrets on how to cook perfectly al dente pasta every time, how to make a simple yet delicious sauce to go with your dish, and what to look for in the supermarket next time you're shopping for pasta.
Finally, you'll sit with your fellow pasta prodigies and enjoy the fruits of your labours together with a sit-down meal, the perfect end to a fascinating celebration of all things pasta!

Ciao! I'm Silvana and I'm a fourth-generation artisan pasta maker from Naples. My passion is to teach the dying art of making pasta entirely by hand, saving rare pasta shapes from disappearing and helping pasta lovers to recreate the authentic Italian experience, teaching techniques passed down to me by my family.
My grandma taught me everything I know! She started training me when I was a teeny weeny five year old. She's been my only teacher for 17 years, allowing me to earn first-hand experience in her small pasta factory. I can't wait to pass these traditional techniques on to you with my pasta making classes in London and online!
I was featured on BBC2's Inside the Factory TV programme as a pasta expert and have held pasta-making demonstrations in Harrods. My recipes are featured on the online news platform, The Local Italy.
I love teaching and sharing my passion for pasta. I can't wait to show you how to make delicious, authentic handmade pasta in the traditional Italian way!

Sylvana is one of a kind. Instantly warm, hospitable, and with an excellent sense of humour - her pasta-making knowledge is second to none.
She took her time to carefully explain the history and techniques behind making pasta, and peppered it with beautiful references to her own family’s deep ancestral roots with pasta making.
Not only do we feel confident in making mouth-watering pasta dishes for ourselves, we also know what to look out for when shopping for that quick fix of dried pasta from a supermarket.
You will not regret giving The Pasta Artist a chance to show off her skills. Thank you Sylvana for an excellent and memorable evening!

A wonderful experience for all - from age 9 to 70. Brilliant to learn in someone’s home in such a casual and “familiar” environment with simply delicious food at the end! Definitely recommend.

We had such a lovely time making pasta! I left feeling like I could definitely make homemade pasta at home by myself, but also with a lot of new knowledge about the history of pasta and how to purchase pasta for myself in grocery stores. The host was clearly very knowledgable about pasta and had a lot of different recipes for pasta and sauces to share with us. It was an absolute blast and a great way to spend the afternoon - thank you so much!

Welcoming and friendly teacher who knew so much about pasta! I learnt so much and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Thank you!

I decided to book this as a Christmas present for his birthday as he loves Italian food and cooking. I'm so glad I booked this instead of other, more cooperate classes I saw advertised. The class was really friendly and intimate her passion and knowledge for pasta was clear. The class over ran by more than an hour, but that time was well spent. We enjoyed learning a lot not only about making pasta but also about it's history and what to look out for when buying pasta in the supermarket. Overall a really great experience!

Silvana was great :) Very intimate and cozy setting; right in her kitchen! Silvana obviously knows what she is doing; while we were cooking pasta from scratch, she took us on history lesson about the origin of pasta and its different varieties. Loved the experience! Highly recommended.
