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.

- Our family spent the evening with Laura and her son Antonio, and truly we felt like we joined their family. Our experience was absolutely incredible. We made three different types of pasta - tortelloni, farfalle, and tagliatelle (which had unsweetened cocoa in the flour). Laura and Antonio were exceptionally welcoming and walked us through the whole process. They were very clear with instructions and took ample time to demonstrate the techniques. After making all of the pastas, Laura expertly cooked each course to perfection. Laura and Antonio sat down to dinner with us and enjoyed the meal with us over a bottle of wine. It made for excellent conversation and a great way to share cultures. Laura even prepared a special dessert for us! She provided all of the recipes, with the expectation that we of course would make pasta at home, and send her photos of our labor! From the moment we arrived, they clearly did everything to ensure that our experience matched our expectations. We strongly and highly recommend booking with Laura!!
- We had an amazing lunch at Laura’s place. Laura and her family were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we enjoyed some great conversations with them. Highly recommended!
- It was a very nice experience to make pasta at a privat home. Laura took great care of us and even spoilt us with wine, appetisers, coffee and dessert. She's a great pasta teacher. It was interesting and funny to learn how to produce tagliatelle. Thank you, Laura!
- Laura is a profesional, it was absolutely a wonderful pasta class. Thank you very much!
- It was really cozy, and Laura was very welcoming and helpful. Her place, which is located in an incredibly lovely spot, was easy to find. I would recommend it to everyone🙂

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.
