I pici sono il piatto di pasta più famoso della Provincia di Siena.

Imparerete, divertendovi, a realizzare non solo i pici, ma anche tagliatelle e gustosi sughi per il condimento, come il ragù di carne, il sugo all’aglione o cacio e pepe. Al termine del corso di cucina assaporate i primi piatti, debitamente accompagnati da un calice di vino. In omaggio per voi il grembiule del vero Tuscan Chef.
