Shared Experience
Your experience
  • Tagliatelle with meat ragu
  • Garganelli
  • Strichetti

Ragu is one of those delicious traditional dishes that can turn an ordinary day into a festive moment! In my kitchen, among chats and laughter, we will prepare three types of fresh pasta and the ragù, a rich and tasty sauce just like my grandmother used to make.

Ready with the rolling pin? I'll teach you all the secrets... Finally, we will sit down at the table and taste the dishes prepared together with a good wine.

This was a wonderful cooking experience. Paola was interesting, her home is beautifully decorated, her recipes are easy to follow, and the food was outstanding. Highly recommend Paola.

Paola è un'ottima cuoca e riesce a insegnare benissimo come cucinare, anche a me che non sono molto dotata! E anche un ottima padrona di casa. E stata la mia prima esperienza con le Cesarine e trovo l'idea sia fantastica. Abbiamo inoltre mangiato benissimo!

Our Bologna cooking class with Paola was fantastic! My wife and I were warmly welcomed and immediately felt like we were reconnecting with a long-time friend. All cooking ingredients, utensils, and recipes were ready upon our arrival, which allowed ample time for learning the cooking techniques while asking plenty of questions. To our delight, Paolo arranged for us to eat our cooking results on her beautiful patio, where we enjoyed a bottle of Chianti Classico wine from our travels. Our memorable time with Paola and our cooking experience was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. Grazie mille!

Our Cesarine was amazing. Her home was lovely and she gave a true immersion into an Italian home. We learned to make tagliatelle and tiramisu (her nonna’s recipe). thank you Paola for sharing your evening. We recommend her to anyone who wants to learn from a local.

I specifically chose Paola because she does lasagne, and she did not disappoint. Her home is lovely and we particularly loved her garden patio for dinner. She taught us proper techniques for kneading and rolling the pasta dough, how to easily make bechamel sauce, and gave us her recipe for the ragu, and took the time to explain each ingredient. Although I have tried to make traditional lasagne at home, this was just what I needed to learn from an expert and perfect my skills. She even gave us her recipe for her amazing focaccia bread. She made the experience fun, easy, and we walked away having learned so much. If you’re coming to Bologna, I highly recommend Paola as your personal Emilia-Romagna cooking tutor!
