A small-group experience in a cozy Bologna kitchen, where a local pasta master guides you through the secrets of real Bolognese lasagna and homemade gelato.

More than just a class, this is a chance to cook, taste and connect around the table while discovering the recipes and traditions that make Bologna Italy’s food capital. You’ll prepare authentic green pasta from scratch using fresh spinach, just like in a Bolognese kitchen. You will learn how to roll the pasta by hand with a rolling pin and create your own homemade lasagna, layering it with creamy béchamel sauce and rich slow-cooked ragù. You’ll also discover the art of authentic Italian gelato, preparing fresh artisanal gelato and tasting different homemade flavors created during the class. Before sitting down to enjoy everything you’ve made, we’ll start with a relaxed Italian aperitivo featuring local wine and regional specialties, the perfect way to share the experience in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

What you'll do

Step into our cozy cooking school in Bologna's historic center and learn to make authentic lasagna and homemade gelato
You'll start by making fresh pasta with spinach, just like it’s traditionally done in Emilia-Romagna. Then, you’ll make béchamel sauce and assemble your lasagna with layers of pasta and a slow-cooked Bolognese ragù, prepared in advance following the classic method. While the lasagna is baking, you’ll move on to gelato. With the help of your instructor, you’ll prepare one or two seasonal flavors using fresh ingredients and simple techniques you can replicate at home. As the final step, enjoy an aperitivo with local wine, mortadella, and regional cold cuts. Then sit down together to taste the lasagna and gelato you’ve made. At the end of the class, you'll receive a recipe booklet with all the dishes prepared and some additional Italian classics to try back home.
