Day 2, Part 2/3— Cooking Class

After first lunch, we continued on our walking tour of the Firenze residential streets. We saw so much beautiful architecture. Everywhere you look is something that makes you go, omg! Finally, we made our way back to Ditta Artigianale and Matt got a macchiato fredo, which he loved.

It’s beyond cute, so of course we had to partake as we moseyed our way down to Giglio Cooking School for an all pasta cooking class. Actually, at first we were supposed to make two pastas and a gnocchi… but we mixed the gnocchi in favor of another pasta, which was a great decision. With our fabulous instructor, Isabella, we made garganelli primavera, spinach ricotta ravioli and tagliatelle pesto. I feel ready to open my own pastaficio. Come on down!Read more
