Vegetarian Cooking Class Emilia-Romagna (Private Class)

What to Expect

In this exclusive, personalized class, I'll show you how to make pumpkin tortelloni just like my grandmother and her grandmother did.

These Emilian pasta pockets are filled with roasted pumpkin, cheese, and spices, blending together to create a comforting yet refined dish with a symphony of flavors in every bite.

Join us on this culinary journey and immerse yourself in the exquisite taste of Bologna.
