Fettuccine Alfredo Sauce Pasta Cooking Class at Mama Florence

Master the art of the world’s most famous pasta sauce in the heart of Tuscany.

There is pasta, and then there is the silky, golden perfection of Fettuccine Alfredo. While known globally, the true secret to this dish lies in the quality of the fresh pasta and the technique of emulsifying butter and Parmigiano Reggiano to create a creamy masterpiece—without using a drop of heavy cream.

During this hands-on class at Mama Florence, you will start from the very beginning: the "fontana" of flour. Under the guidance of our expert chef, you’ll learn to mix, knead, and roll out golden sheets of fresh egg pasta. You will then master the knife skills required to cut perfect ribbons of fettuccine, the ideal canvas for the Alfredo sauce.

Once your pasta is ready, we move to the stove to unlock the secrets of the original Alfredo sauce. You will learn the importance of pasta water, the precise temperature for the butter, and how to toss the pasta to achieve that iconic, velvet-like consistency.

After the hard work is done, you’ll sit down in our beautiful dining room to enjoy your handmade Fettuccine Alfredo, accompanied by local appetizers, a second seasonal course, and perfectly paired Tuscan wines.
