Fresh Pasta Workshop for Groups & Team Building | Gianluca Spalletta

Fresh pasta workshop in Lisbon for groups who want more than a cooking class. SUGO’s three-hour hands-on experience is built around making everything from scratch, from dough to shaping to sitting down together to eat what you made, with big Italian flavour, genuine technique, and the kind of atmosphere that makes three hours feel like the best part of the week. Available for groups of 7 to 12 people, beginner-friendly throughout, and flexible enough to adapt to smaller or larger groups on request.

The session opens with a welcome drink and an introduction to what you are about to cook together. You choose your pasta style from classic egg pasta (tagliatelle, tagliolini, farfalle or fusilli), filled pasta (ravioli) or gnocchi, and your artisanal sauce from bolognese ragù, vegan bolognese ragù, pumpkin and pork, ricotta and cherry tomatoes, or alfredo with lemon and basil. From there you get your hands into the dough, learning to mix, knead and work it using traditional Italian techniques. While the dough rests, fresh bruschetta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of drinks give everyone a moment to breathe and connect before moving into shaping, using traditional Imperia machines and hand tools depending on the pasta type. Your pasta is cooked and served with your chosen sauce, and the session closes with SUGO’s signature tiramisu and a traditional Italian coffee made in an original Bialetti Moka pot.
