# Pesto and Pasta Cooking Class in Rome City Center

**Guidekin's take:** One of the few classes that teaches a sauce as well as the pasta: fresh pesto made by hand alongside fettuccine in a restaurant's cooking lab on Piazza Navona, eaten with bruschetta and a glass of wine or beer, rated 4.96 across 79 reviews. Class, meal and drinks are included at €52 per person. Not for nut allergies, gluten intolerance or vegans.

## Overview

Our first cooking experience offers sauce-making on the side of the fettuccine pasta-making!
The new Pesto and Pasta class is held in our private cooking lab in a local restaurant on Piazza Navona, in the heart of Rome.
This is one of the very few sauce-making classes in the city, and we chose pesto for various reasons!
Pesto is one of the healthiest, and easiest types of traditional Italian sauce that one can make with their pasta. Fresh, full of vitamins, and it has many health benefits. It doesn't need to be cooked either, which helps us avoid the kitchen and potential accidents.
On the side of the pesto, we make our own traditional Italian Fettuccine pasta. We'll guide you through the making, and the chef of the restaurant will cook this for you.
The pesto with pasta will be served at the table where you're accommodated, with the appetizers and drink on the side that's included in this experience!
