    Together we will learn how to make the traditional Bolognese lasagna, which is one of my specialties. We will start by preparing the ragù and, while it cooks, we will begin making our egg pasta, to which we will add spinach, following the Bolognese tradition. Once both ingredients are ready, we will make the béchamel sauce and then assemble our seven layers of wonder, ready to be enjoyed!

    Paola è una persona estremamente in gamba, molto disponibile, carismatica e la sua ospitalità ci ha scaldato il cuore. Non solo ha creato un bellissimo ambiente accogliente, ma ci ha anche spiegato con molta bravura ed esperienza come fare le lasagne ed il tiramisù, insengnadoci trucchetti e segreti del mestiere. La sua energia coinvolgente e simpatia hanno creato un'esperienza indimenticabile per tutta la famiglia. Indimenticabile anche la cena finale in cui abbiamo consumato il cibo cucinato insieme, nonché buonissimi antipasti preparati da lei e assaggiato un buon vino locale. Grazie di cuore Paola, penseremo sempre a te quando ricucineremo le lasagne.

    A Truly Unforgettable Cooking Experience with Paola in Bologna Taking a cooking class with Paola was one of the absolute highlights of our time in Bologna. From the moment we stepped into her beautiful home, we were welcomed not only as guests, but as friends. Paola opened her kitchen and her heart to us, guiding us through a hands-on cooking experience that was as joyful as it was delicious. We learned how to make a delicate squash soufflé, a perfectly crispy and tender cotoletta, and a indulgent, creamy tiramisu - each dish full of flavor, tradition, and love. Cooking with Paola felt like being part of a true Italian family. We laughed, shared stories, and sat down afterwards to enjoy the meal we made together - which was truly one of the best we had in Italy. This was more than just a cooking class; it was a cultural exchange and the beginning of a new friendship. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Bologna. If you're looking for something genuine, personal, and deeply satisfying — both for your palate and your heart — don't miss cooking with Paola.

    An intriguing person with a unique and elegant apartment, Paola gently guided us through the pasta-making process—and showed us how to make the BEST tiramisu we have ever had.

    We had such a fun night learning pasta making techniques and how to create light and perfectly sweet tiramisu from our warm and welcoming hostess Paola! She created an unforgettable experience for us and we would highly recommend adding a stop at her beautiful home to your Bologna itinerary!
