Agnolotti cooking class with a Cesarina

Cesarine is an Italian network of home cooks who teach in their own kitchens. Its Asti hosts, Fabiana and Andrea, have been with Cesarine since 2018 and live a few minutes outside the city, towards the Monferrato hills, where they keep a vegetable garden and an orchard. This class is about agnolotti, the small filled pasta that Piedmont makes for feast days, with a different version in every area. You make the Asti version from their grandmothers' recipe, then sit down to eat it together with a glass of wine. The class takes two hours and is shared with other guests, up to six in all. It's taught in Italian and English. You get the exact address once you've booked. The same hosts run longer classes on the Cesarine site too, including fresh pasta and tiramisu or a market visit followed by cooking.
