Bolognese Cooking Class – Shared Experience on Wednesdays & Sundays

Apa yang Dijangkakan

Escape the city for a relaxed morning of fresh pasta, Prosecco, and good company at our countryside villa near Bologna. Every Wednesday and Sunday at 11:00, Bianca welcomes solo travellers, couples, and friends to cook and share the table together.

Using family recipes passed down through generations, you will make tagliatelle alla Bolognese and handmade ravioli from scratch. Bianca will teach you authentic techniques and practical tips you can use at home. We use carefully selected local and seasonal ingredients whenever possible, including organic flour from our local mill.

The hands-on class takes place in our air-conditioned kitchen. Afterwards, sit down with the group and enjoy the generous lunch you have prepared, overlooking the surrounding hills and plains.

Menu

• Ricotta Ravioli

Ravioli are large pasta pouches, filled with ricotta cheese. When served with a simple yet exquisite sauce of melted butter and sage leaves, they create a dish that's both delicate and indulgent.

• Tagliatelle alla Bolognese

A true Bolognese classic, this dish pairs fresh tagliatelle with a slow-cooked ragù. The broad pasta ribbons hold the rich, savoury sauce beautifully, creating a warm, generous plate that is both comforting and full of depth.

• Prosecco wine pairing

As much local sparkling wine as you’d like to enjoy.
