This Italian Grandma Is Hosting a Virtual Class to Teach You How to Make Pasta
Updated: Mar. 24, 2020
No need for a trip to the grocery store. You can learn how to make authentic Italian pasta, courtesy of Nonna herself!
Who in the world is this Nonna?
Right now, everyone’s doing their part to cheer people up. From decorating the house with Christmas lights to delivering food, we’re all doing our best. Nonna is helping, too—she’s teaching us to make pasta instead of buying it.
The pasta-making class, Nonna Live, is taught by an actual Italian grandmother, named Nonna Nerina. She usually teaches in-person at an Airbnb Experience just outside Rome. That experience drops you into a rustic Italian kitchen for two hours to learn three kinds of handmade pasta. However, Airbnb Experiences are paused right now due to coronavirus.
That’s why Nonna Nerina is now teaching through a virtual cooking experience, aka an online class. We love her!
How to sign up
You can cook with Nonna Nerina from the comfort of your own kitchen. Sign up for the livestream for $50 USD, and enjoy learning with your new Italian grandma every weekend. There are weekday classes, too, led by her granddaughter, Chiara Nicolanti. Here’s the lineup:
