Bologna: Fresh Pasta Cooking Class at Sfoglina's Home
Discover the true soul of Bolognese cuisine
Discover the true soul of Bolognese cuisine with an authentic 3-hour cooking class in the heart of the city, led by an expert sfoglina, guardian of tradition. The experience begins with the preparation of a classic Italian dessert like tiramisù, which will rest in the refrigerator while you focus on fresh pasta. You’ll then learn how to knead the Bolognese dough by hand using just eggs, flour, and the skillful art of the rolling pin to create two traditional formats of pasta, such as tortelloni, ravioli, tagliatelle, or farfalle. While the dough rests, you’ll enjoy a welcome aperitif with local snacks, immersing yourself in the true Emilian atmosphere.
Afterward, it’s time to roll out the sheet of pasta, shape your creations, and finally sit down to enjoy everything together. This convivial moment turns into a real lunch or dinner, accompanied by excellent local wine, shared stories, smiles, and new friendships. No previous cooking experience is required—just curiosity, enthusiasm, and the desire to learn and have fun. By the end, you’ll return home not only with new culinary skills but also with the warmth of an authentic Bolognese experience in your heart. This class is also perfectly suited for children, making it a family-friendly adventure into Italy’s most beloved traditions.
