Bologna: Fresh Pasta, Ragu, Lasagna and Gelato Cooking Class

About this activity

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.
