Your experience
  • Green Lasagna (homemade pasta) alla bolognese
  • Italian trifle

Learn how to make real lasagna Bolognese, just like my mother used to make. The secret lies in the rich and flavorful Bolognese sauce that blends perfectly with creamy béchamel sauce and a green pasta sheet made with spinach for a unique color and taste. In three hours, I will reveal all the secrets to making a perfect lasagna for any occasion. In addition, we will prepare together the traditional zuppa inglese, a typical Bologna dessert, with chocolate custard and sponge cake soaked in Alchermes. I am waiting for you for an unforgettable culinary experience!

Wonderful experience. Federica welcomed us into her home, guiding us with her expertise and simplicity to discover typical Bolognese dishes. Her lasagna was so good that even our one-year-old daughter ate it. Federica was very accommodating in welcoming us into her home along with her little one.

Federica is a kind and experienced teacher and chef. I took my 2 children ages 18 and 12 and by far this was our favorite activity on our adventure in Italy. Federica has a beautiful and comfortable home. We learned how to make 4 different types of gnocchi and tagliatelle and enjoyed eating them as well. The instruction and recipes are both fun and easy to follow. We look forward to making these dishes at home for our friends and family.

Federica is an excellent cook with good recipes that she happily shares. It was a clear and interesting lesson. We were all able to make some good fresh pasta. Thanks to Federica's preparations, lunch afterwards was delicious. An activity in Bologna that I recommend!

This is a must do activity in Italy, especially Bologna! There is so much tradition involved with the cuisine and Federica embraces that through her technique and teaching. This was a definite highlight of my Italian holiday! I was lucky enough to have a one on one with Federica and she made it so fun! She was patient and kind and documented all the wonderful memories in action. I will cherish this experience and I can’t wait to go home and practice her teachings. Thank you Cesarine to making these wonderful connections and thank your hospitality Federica!

Federica was amazing and we had so much fun! The Tagliatelle and ragu we made was so good and we can't wait to make it again at home. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience! Would highly recommend! 😊

Cesarina from 2025Location: Bologna (BO)    Languages: Italian and English
The restoration of paintings and frescoes is my profession, but my true passion is cooking. The attention to detail required in my work is the same precision I bring to my handmade pasta—tagliatelle, lasagne, tortellini, and tortelloni—all rigorously prepared with fresh dough rolled by hand using a rolling pin. My specialty is ragù alla Bolognese, while for main courses, I love preparing traditional dishes from my region, Emilia-Romagna, such as roasts and meatballs. Vegetables are always present on my table, often with a touch of Neapolitan influence, which also inspires me to prepare some delicious seafood dishes. The view from my home, just outside the center of Bologna and near the Portico di San Luca, is simply breathtaking—I look forward to welcoming you to admire it together!
