    Who said that Bolognese cuisine can't be vegetarian? In this course, we will learn not only the art of hand-rolled pasta, but also delicious recipes to satisfy a plant-based diet or simply those who want a change from time to time. Lasagna with pesto, béchamel sauce, Parmesan cheese, and chopped pistachios will amaze even the most traditional Bolognese palates. We will also prepare a light and fresh version of tagliatelle and, finally, tortelloni stuffed with pumpkin or other vegetables depending on the season.

    This was a great experience! Everything was well prepared with respect to our interests, she offered perfect recipes for us being vegetarians and shared a lot of additional special knowledge with us. We will for sure come again whenever in Bologna!

    Io sono emiliana, fin da bambina ho visto e aiutato mia madre nella preparazione di tagliatelle, tortelloni e lasagne, tradizione che purtroppo non ho portato avanti. Questo corso con Maria Sole ha risvegliato in me la memoria di gesti antichi e la voglia di "sporcarmi" le mani di farina per far si che questa arte non si perda. La versione vegetariana che propone Maria Sole coglie perfettamente il mio sentire e coniuga la tradizione con l'evolversi del gusto moderno. Ospitalità impeccabile ! Maria Sole ha condiviso insegnamenti e "trucchetti" con piacevolezza e competenza. Consiglio vivamente a tutti il suo corso. E vi assicuro che anche chi la sfoglia la sa già fare ci troverà nuovi spunti e nuove idee.

    Absolutely fantastic class with Sole. My son and I had a blast and I finally learned why my pasta dough always ends up too firm! Would absolutely recommend this to anyone wanting to learn some more plant-forward recipes .... they're delicious.

    Our class with Sole was the highlight of our visit to Bologna! Not only did we learn to make fresh pasta tortelloni, lentil ragu tagliatelle and pesto lasagna, but we also had an amazing dinner and had so much fun.

    My daughter and I had a delightful time last night with Cesarine Maria Sole and Rossella. They taught us how to make three delicious dishes with homemade pasta and their hospitality was exceptional. We were able to experience firsthand how genuinely wonderful the Bolognese people are. We highly recommend booking a cooking experience with them!

    Cesarina from 2022Location: San Lazzaro di Savena    Languages: Italian and English
    With a Bolognese grandmother and a Sicilian one, I couldn’t help but fall in love with good cuisine from a young age. After taking several courses and completing a gastronomic master at the Gambero Rosso school, I traveled abroad, working as a chef in various restaurants. When I returned home, I felt the desire to share our cuisine with those who don’t yet know it, explaining its origins and preparations. I personally welcome my guests at home, trying to convey a bit of my passion and love for good food. My cooking is healthy, focused on the quality of ingredients, yet faithful to tradition. Beyond typical Bolognese specialties, I love plant-based dishes and pastry. My goal is to provide a complete experience: from taste to understanding, explaining each preparation in both Italian and English, so that guests can enjoy not only the dishes but also the history and care behind them.
