One 84-year-old Italian grandmother has taken matters into her own hands now that Italy has gone into lockdown. Nonna Nerina usually runs pasta-making workshops in the countryside around an hour north of Rome, but due to the current isolation measures, she had to cancel all her upcoming classes. However, thanks to her granddaughter Chiara, Nerina has made her classes available online to anyone at https://nonnalive.com/.

After registering for a live two-hour, virtual pasta masterclass, you’ll be taken through Nerina’s family recipes using simple ingredients and equipment from a shopping list that you’ll be sent via email one week before class. Dishes on the menu include Classic Lasagne, Ravioli with Butter Sage Sauce, Gnocchi with Pesto, Cannelloni, and Fettuccine with Tomato Sauce. Buon appetito!
