Cooking class: learn how to cook traditional & innovative Italian recipes from a local Cesarina

Shared Experience
Your experience

    Discover the real spaghetti Bolognese, a traditional dish that is not made with ragù, as often found in menus, but with tuna! A classic of Bolognese cuisine, alongside tortellini, tagliatelle, and lasagna, it features a base of onion and tomato, with the addition of tuna. In this course, I’ll reveal the secrets of this delicious recipe that my father used to prepare on festive days. During the two-hour experience, I’ll also guide you in making homemade gelato without the help of an ice cream maker. At the end, on the terrace, we’ll enjoy together the dishes we’ve prepared, paired with a nice glass of prosecco. A unique culinary experience you won’t want to miss!

    We had a wonderful evening with Federica who taught us how to make fresh pasta, how to shape and fill the perfect tortellini, make tagliatelle with delicious lemon sauce and showed us a few tricks for the perfect tiramisu. Federice is a wonderful host and chef- thank you Federica, this was our best evening in Bologna.

    Fantastic Bolognese Crescenta, Bruschetta class! Thank you Federica for being so patient and generous. We loved every second of your class. Looking forward to trying out all the recipes at home. The food was delicious and so was the sparkling wine but the music and the company was top!

    Federica is an amazing teacher! My teenager and I spent a delightful three hours learning delicious recipes and then enjoying them on her gorgeous terrace. She is an expert pasta-maker, and a very kind host. Her class was the highlight of our trip!

    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!
