Valencia: Fresh Pasta Workshop with Food at Coolinary Experience

An amazing experience where you get to be the chef. Incredible step by step instructions. Plus encouragement when it doesn’t go as planned. What we created was delicious and so much fun. Really appreciated Chef Andrea Pugliese with such a warm and caring attitude.

We are visiting Valencia and we’re excited to make fresh pasta with Italian Chef Andrea. We were welcomed into his delightful apartment, offered a beverage and a special apron. Then we washed our hands and got to work making pasta from scratch. Andrea had everything ready and we mixed up a simple pasta dough. While it rested, we had a glass of wine and delicious appetizers, learning about Andrea’s background, and sharing about our lives/family etc. Andrea is a very engaging host! We returned to the work table to prepare the pasta dough, making ricotta/basil/tomato-filled pasta roses. After 4 mins of boiling and a brief sauté in butter, we enjoyed our meal while Andrea made tagliatelle with the remaining dough. Our meal was completed with a chef-made lemon/almond/white chocolate cake. Delicious!! We truly enjoyed our experience with Andreas and highly recommend this class to any small or large group. He is also a chef for events and parties. We would absolutely hire him if we end up moving to Valencia (which we might!)

We had a wonderful time during this workshop. Andrea and his wife Anita were amazing hosts and also prepared delicious bites for us, as well as a very tasty dessert. The atmosphere was warm and genuine; we had great conversations, and whenever our wine glasses were empty, they were magically full again🍷. Such kind people and a great way to learn the basics of making your own pasta. I would recommend it to everyone!!

We had a fantastic evening at Andrea’s cooking class at his home! Such a wonderful atmosphere – we truly enjoyed Andrea and Anita’s hospitality, learned a lot, and had an amazing meal! Highly recommended!

I cannot put into words how amazing Andrea and his wife Anna were to us. We felt like we were at home. They shared so much info with us and truly made it so easy. They placed the table so we could eat the pasta we made and I COULD NOT believe that we made it! Out of all the experiences we had on our trip, I would do this one again and again. Thank you both for an unforgettable night. ( They also had amazing suggestions and insights to their area! )
