Bologna: Pasta Cooking Class, Ragu, Spritz, and Mr. Gelato

Experience an authentic pasta-making class in Bologna, Italy, and discover the culinary traditions that have made this city a global food destination. Guided by a local sfoglina, you’ll learn to craft Tagliatelle from scratch, using only your hands, a rolling pin, and top-quality, locally sourced ingredients.

Your adventure begins in a welcoming city-center kitchen where you’ll enjoy an aperitivo with classic Bolognese flavors like Mortadella, Crescenta, and Pignoletto. As you mingle with fellow participants, you’ll soak up the warm atmosphere and get a true taste of Bologna’s renowned hospitality.

Next, you’ll shake up a Casoni spritz, a refreshing cocktail infused with local herbs, adding a unique regional twist to your experience. Then, under the expert guidance of your pasta master, you’ll prepare, shape, and cook Tagliatelle before pairing it with a house-made, slow-cooked ragù crafted from a beloved family recipe.

Once your pasta is ready, enjoy the fruits of your labor together, accompanied by local Sangiovese wine and finished with a generous sprinkle of aged Parmigiano Reggiano. The meal concludes with a traditional Italian coffee brewed in a Moka and a digestif of amaro to savor the flavors of Emilia-Romagna.

Supporting local producers is at the heart of this experience, ensuring every bite tells the story of the region. Recipes are available in PDF format upon request, so you can recreate the magic at home. Book your spot now to secure a place in this unforgettable Bologna culinary adventure!
