Cooking Class in Bologna

We’ll begin our experience by preparing fresh pasta entirely by hand, incorporating spinach to achieve the traditional green color of Bolognese lasagna. You’ll discover how to mix and knead the dough, roll it into thin sheets, and cut it into the perfect size for lasagna layers — just like it’s been done for generations. Next, we’ll prepare a smooth homemade béchamel sauce. Then, together, we’ll assemble the lasagna using a rich and flavorful ragù alla Bolognese, slowly simmered in advance in accordance with local tradition. Step by step, you’ll build your own lasagna masterpiece, ready for the oven. While it bakes, we’ll switch to dessert and make one or two varieties of fresh artisanal gelato, using seasonal ingredients and easy techniques that you can repeat at home. During the cooking time, you’ll also enjoy a classic Italian aperitivo with wine, mortadella, and a selection of regional cured meats. To finish, we’ll all sit down and share the dishes we’ve created — a true Bolognese feast! At the end of the lesson, you’ll take home a recipe booklet featuring everything we made together plus some additional Italian favorites to enjoy in your own kitchen
