Shared Experience
Your experience
- Tortellini (homemade pasta) in meat broth
- Tortellini (homemade pasta) with Parmesan cream
- Tenerina (traditional chocolate cake) with mascarpone cream
It is said that tortellini were inspired by Venus's navel, a symbol of perfection and harmony. In this masterclass, you will enter the heart of Emilian tradition, in a typical Bolognese house just a few steps from the historic centre of Bologna and the charming Sanctuary of San Luca.
Guided step by step, you will learn how to roll out the dough by hand and fill the tortellini according to the ancient technique, then season them according to two great classic variations: in broth and in Parmigiano cream. We will conclude on a sweet note by preparing a delicious and soft torta tenerina served with mascarpone cream. An authentic, convivial and flavourful experience, allowing you to take home not only a recipe, but a piece of authentic Bolognese cuisine.

- Io e la mia compagna abbiamo incluso questa attività nel nostro breve soggiorno a Bologna, e sinceramente la scelta è stata azzeccatissima. Si impara e ci si diverte nello stesso momento, con Laura e la sua famiglia che non si risparmiano su niente. Accoglienza al top, prodotti di altissima qualità, e Laura e la sua famiglia super accogliente e ospitale per tutta l’esperienza. Consigliamo vivamente
- Abbiamo prenotato una lezione sulla sfoglia e siamo stati abbinati alla Cesarina Laura che si è rivelata una padrona di casa gentile e accogliente. Alessandro, suo compagno, è simpaticissimo e abbiamo trascorso una piacevolissima serata insieme nella giornata più romantica dell’anno.
- Laura nous a super bien accueilli. Nous avons beaucoup appris et elle a répondu à toutes nos questions. Le vin offert, le dessert et le café de la fin étaient fabuleux. Nous avons échanger sur nos cultures à travers la préparation et le souper. Nous recommandons fortement l’expérience.
- Laura and her family were an absolute joy to spend an evening with. We had so much fun learning how to make 3 types of pasta, and Laura was a true expert. It was also great getting to share a meal with her family, all of whom are warm, inviting people who are absolute pleasures to be around. We highly recommend this class and will definitely do it again if we ever are lucky enough to come back to Bologna. Don’t hesitate, book this class if she has availability. Laura e la sua famiglia sono stati una vera gioia con cui trascorrere la serata. Ci siamo divertiti moltissimo imparando a preparare tre tipi di pasta, e Laura è stata una vera esperta. È stato anche bellissimo condividere il pasto con la sua famiglia, tutti calorosi, accoglienti e davvero piacevoli da frequentare. Consigliamo vivamente questa esperienza e la rifaremmo sicuramente se dovessimo essere abbastanza fortunati da tornare a Bologna.
- J’ai adoré ce cours ! Laura et son mari m’ont accueilli avec une gentillesse et une hospitalité vraiment italiennes. Le programme — 3 recettes — est excellent et j’ai beaucoup appris sur la fabrication des pâtes. Laura transmet de façon concrète, avec passion et beaucoup de pédagogie, son savoir-faire. Sans doute la plus belle expérience de mon séjour d’une semaine à Bologne. I loved this class! Laura and her husband welcomed me with true Italian kindness and hospitality. The program—three recipes—was excellent, and I learned a great deal about pasta making. Laura shares her expertise in a practical, passionate, and highly instructive way. Without a doubt, the highlight of my week-long stay in Bologna. このクラスは本当に素晴らしかったです！Lauraさんとご主人は、イタリアらしい優しさとおもてなしで迎えてくれました。3種類のレシピを使ったプログラムは素晴らしく、パスタ作りについて多くのことを学ぶことができました。Lauraさんは専門知識を、実践的で情熱的、そして非常に分かりやすく教えてくれました。間違いなく、ボローニャでの1週間の滞在のハイライトでした。

Cesarina from 2025Location: Bologna (BO) Languages: Italian and EnglishI love cooking risottos, tagliatelle with ragù, carbonara, seafood pastas, as well as meat and fish prepared in different ways, and of course gratin vegetables and various desserts. I’m originally from Veneto, so I can also make baccalà, sweet gnocchi, and other delicacies typical of my region. I also enjoy “borrowing” recipes from other parts of Italy, especially Milanese risotto.
