• Learn to make fresh egg pasta entirely by hand
• Prepare classic Bolognese recipes using traditional techniques
• Enjoy your homemade lunch together in the kitchen
• Small groups for personal attention — private options available

Market Tour: Choosing Ingredients Like a Local

Your experience begins with a guided visit to one of Bologna’s historic food markets. You’ll learn how Italians select vegetables, cheeses, cured meats, herbs, and seasonal produce — and why quality ingredients matter so much in Italian cooking.

Meeting local vendors and understanding ingredient origins gives you practical knowledge you can reuse at home.

Hands-On Pasta Making with a Professional Chef

After the market visit, you’ll move to a modern kitchen in central Bologna where your chef will guide you step-by-step through the preparation of fresh pasta and traditional sauces.

You’ll learn:

• How to mix, knead, rest, roll, and shape fresh egg pasta
• Classic pasta shapes such as tagliatelle, tortelloni, or ravioli
• Traditional Bolognese sauces and cooking techniques
• Timing, textures, and seasoning the Italian way

Start: 10:00 AM
Location: Via del Pratello, Central Bologna
End: Approx. 1:00 PM
