Wild pesto mix is pounded in mortar and pestle - Making Pesto at a chef's kitchen is a highpoint of cooking in Genoa. Pesto is made with wild basil leaves and olive oil; it's part of the meal to have it with basil, pine nuts, garlic and parmesan cheese, with a dash of natural olive oil. The wild ingredients are pungent; they are mixed and pounded together in a mortar and pestle, The wild ingredients are pounded strongly and used to accompany pasta, such as spaghetti.

AMAZING Experience! - Tomaso and Agatha were fantastic! We had such a great time learning how to make authentic pasta from them and can't wait to try making it on our own at home!

Buon appetito! - Definitely an experience that I would recommend to others. One of the best ways to immerse yourself in the local culture. Not to mention tasting some wonderful food. Daniela made us feel right at home. Here cooking knowledge is grounded in generations of experience. There is no better way to learn than in person. You end up picking up techniques that might have been missed in a video I can’t wait to make some fresh pasta when I get home. Thank you Daniela!
