Land Adventures at The Jamie Oliver Cookery School

Roll up your sleeves and try the traditional technique of pasta making using just your hands – no fancy equipment required!

Discover the key to making a classic semolina dough that any nonna would be proud of. Master mixing, get the kneading know-how, then pick up some seriously good shaping skills.

What you’ll do:

• Get twisting to make trofie, roll up a few pieces of malloreddus and try your hand at strozzapreti. Experiment to the max, then whip up a batch of your favourite shape.
• Watch as your chef whips up an Italian pesto with plenty of Parmesan, fragrant basil and creamy pine nuts.
• Then cook your hand-shaped pasta to perfection. Gently toss it through your pesto with freshly-grated Parmesan and precious pasta water to create an iconic dish that’s hard to beat.
• Take a seat at our chef’s table to tuck into your finished dish.

What you’ll eat & drink:

• Traditional semolina dough
• Liguria-style trofie
• Sardinian-style malloreddus
• Emilia-Romagna strozzapreti
