Italian Pasta Cooking Class in Veliko Tarnovo

Discover the pleasure of making authentic Italian pasta with an Italian pasta cooking class in Veliko Tarnovo. Over three hours, explore the flavours of Rome and southern Italy as you learn to prepare three much-loved dishes: Carbonara, Amatriciana and Puttanesca. This is an introduction to a style of cooking where carefully chosen ingredients, sound technique and the balance between a few simple elements make all the difference.

Explore Italian cooking with chef Michele Bellotto

Chef Michele Bellotto will guide you through the dishes, helping you understand how everyday ingredients can produce such distinctive flavours. Along the way, discover culinary traditions shaped by a passion for cooking and respect for quality produce — the qualities that have made Italian food a favourite around the world.

The class goes beyond learning recipes. It is also a chance to experience the Italian approach to food: taking time over its preparation, tasting with curiosity and sharing the pleasure of a meal. There is a little of “la dolce vita” here too — an appreciation of life's simple, enjoyable moments.

Three classic pasta dishes, each with its own personality

• Carbonara — learn the techniques behind this Roman classic made with guanciale, eggs and pecorino. The focus is on its silky texture and deep, savoury flavour.
• Amatriciana — discover how to make pasta with a rich tomato sauce and a gentle spicy edge, keeping the flavours in balance.
• Puttanesca — bring together olives, capers and anchovies in a bold dish that captures the lively character of Italy's southern coast.

As you cook, the aromas of olive oil, garlic and fresh tomatoes help set the scene for an Italian-inspired afternoon. You will then enjoy the classics you have made yourself — dishes whose appeal lasts well beyond changing food trends.

Cook, taste and share the experience

The class takes place in a welcoming, fully equipped kitchen. You will cook in a group alongside other participants you may not have met before, with opportunities to taste the food and share the experience. All ingredients and essential utensils are provided, leaving you free to concentrate on the techniques, flavours and enjoyment of cooking.

Detailed recipes will be sent to the email address you provide. That means the experience need not end with the afternoon: you can make the dishes again at home and bring a little of that Italian atmosphere to your own table.
