Introductory Course on Pasta
In this course, we’ll turn you into a pasta pro!
We’ll show you just how versatile pasta can be and how quickly and easily you can make fresh pasta at home. But what’s the best pasta dough? To answer this question properly, you first need to decide which type of pasta you want to serve with which sauce. In Italy, a distinction is made between two different types of pasta dough: egg pasta (pasta all’uovo) and pasta made from durum wheat semolina (pasta semola di grano duro).
In our introductory pasta course, you’ll make various types of pasta dough yourself straight away: one with egg and two made from durum wheat semolina. Using the pasta doughs you’ve made, you’ll learn to make different types of pasta such as:
spaghetti alla chittara, gnocchi sardi, orecchiette, farfalle, garganelli, pappardelle, fettuccine or ravioli filled with spinach and ricotta or a lemon and ricotta filling.
We’ll provide each participant with a pasta machine for the duration of the course and teach you how to use it properly. However, you don’t need a pasta machine for all types of pasta. We’ll show you various ways in which you can make delicious pasta at home without a machine.
At the end of the pasta course, you’ll have the chance to cook some of the pasta you’ve made yourself, pair it with the right sauce and enjoy it straight away. Our course leaders will show you how to cook pasta properly and toss it with the right sauce. Please note that in this pasta course, the focus is not on making the pasta sauce, but on the different ways of preparing the various types of pasta. The following sauces are available to choose from: Pesto Genovese, Sicilian pesto, Bolognese sauce, Pesto Calabrese and, for the ravioli, a delicious sage butter.
At the end, you’ll go home with the pasta you’ve made yourself, along with a very comprehensive recipe booklet, as well as lots of great pasta sauce recipes and various video tutorials for the different types of pasta.
In this course, we’ll spend around 4–4.5 hours making the different types of pasta, and the rest of the time will be spent cooking your own pasta and enjoying it together.

Garganelli
Farfalle

Here are a few impressions from the course
Venue: the events and training room at Webereistrasse 56, 8134 Adliswil
Address:
miniSchoggi GmbH, Webereistrasse 56, 8134 Adliswil
Getting there by public transport:
The ‘Sihlau’ station (350 metres from the venue) can be easily reached by the S4 from the main station in around 15 minutes. Once you arrive at the station, cross the river and enjoy the idyllic atmosphere along the River Sihl. After walking a few metres along Webereistrasse, you’ll see the miniSchoggi signs on the first floor on your left. Simply take the external staircase up to the first floor and you’ll be right here with us.
Travelling by car:
From the centre of Adliswil, follow
You’ll find paid parking spaces along the River Sihl. The charge is CHF 1 per hour, at any time of day and seven days a week. Payment can be made in cash, via Twint, or using the Parkingpay or easypark apps. Further parking options, including free ones, are listed on the last page of the site plan PDF.
Please note: do not use the yellow parking spaces, as these are permanently allocated. From 18:00, parking spaces 54 to 59 are also reserved for the Rössli restaurant. In both cases, parking fines will be issued without exception for non-compliance.
COURSE CANCELLATION POLICY
Illness, accidents or other unforeseeable circumstances are, unfortunately, part of our everyday lives. As our courses require fixed planning, we factor in materials for every registered participant. Rescheduling and cancellations therefore result in a significant amount of extra work and missed opportunities for other course participants. To ensure fairness for everyone, we adhere strictly to the terms set out below. However, as a company, it is important to us to offer you options for dealing with unforeseeable situations in order to avoid high costs; this is possible via the ‘Basic’ participation option or cancellation insurance.
All bookings for our courses are binding. The invoice must be settled by the payment deadline or, in the case of last-minute bookings, by the day of the course. Further details can be found in the Terms and Conditions at minischoggi.ch. miniSchoggi reserves the right to cancel courses due to insufficient demand and without giving further reasons up to 5 days before the course starts. In such cases, participants have the option of attending an alternative course or requesting a full refund of any payments already made.
Courses held on site
If you are unable to attend a course or no longer wish to attend, a distinction is made between rebooking for a different date and cancelling. Please note that a course booking can never be rebooked or cancelled free of charge without purchasing the ‘Basic’ participation option. Further details on the recommended ‘Basic’ participation option can be found in the relevant section. You can transfer your booked place to another person at any time.
Rescheduling: Participants may reschedule their course place up to 30 days before the course starts, subject to an administration fee of CHF 20. If the participant reschedules the course at a later date, 50 per cent of the course fee will be payable. Rescheduling less than 48 hours before the course starts is not permitted and will be treated as a cancellation. The fee applies to each booked place on the course.
Cancellation: Participants may cancel their place on the course up to 30 days before the course starts, subject to an administration fee of CHF 50. After this point, they will no longer be entitled to their place on the course. If the participant cancels the course at a later date or fails to attend on the day of the course, 100 per cent of the course fee will be payable. The fee applies to each course place.
What happens in the event of illness or an accident if I do NOT have the Basic cover option?
Unfortunately, situations do arise in life that make it impossible to attend a planned course. This could be a sudden illness, a severe bout of flu or even an accident. We at miniSchoggi deeply regret such occurrences, as we would, of course, love to welcome all registered participants to the course.
However, the course fees are still payable in all circumstances, as we are unable to re-sell the booked place in the usually extremely short time remaining before the course starts, and we have already incurred various costs in connection with the booking and course preparation. Even with the best will in the world, we cannot bear these individual risk costs for a single person ourselves. We therefore recommend booking the optional ‘Basic’ participation option. Thank you very much for your understanding.
Basic enrolment option for course booking
The ‘Basic’ course participation option is the ideal addition to your course booking, and one you really shouldn’t miss out on. It ensures that, even in the event of many unforeseen circumstances – such as illness, an accident, COVID-19, the death or funeral of a family member, pregnancy complications, etc. (see the link below for a full list and details), you can still attend the course at a later date at no extra cost.
The Basic participation option is not compulsory and can be purchased voluntarily alongside the course. If you do not take this out, the standard course and cancellation terms and conditions apply. Further information on the participation option can be found at: https://www.minischoggi.ch/gb/participation-options.html
Please note that external costs (hotel accommodation, travel expenses, etc.) are never covered by the Basic participation option. To cover these costs, we recommend taking out cancellation insurance, which usually overlaps to some extent with the Basic participation option, but often involves excesses or significant restrictions. Depending on your insurance policy, however, external costs may already be included in your travel insurance. You can find further information on cancellation insurance at: http://www.minischoggi.ch/versicherung

We’re really looking forward to welcoming you to the course soon! Your miniSchoggi team
