This three-hour cooking class in Bologna focuses on making fresh Tagliatelle pasta by hand, accompanied by local ragù and drinks. The session begins with an aperitif featuring Mortadella, Crescenta, and Pignoletto to introduce participants to traditional Bolognese flavors. Afterward, the instructor demonstrates how to prepare a Casoni spritz, a cocktail made with local herbs. Participants then mix and roll pasta dough manually, shaping it before cooking. The class uses locally sourced ingredients to prepare the pasta, which is paired with house-made ragù. While the ragù is not made during the class due to time limits, it is fully homemade. The dish is served with local red wine. The experience concludes with coffee and amaro, along with gelato. Alcoholic beverages, food, tea, and coffee are included in the class. The operator can provide gluten-free pasta and vegetarian sauces upon request, but the experience may not suit those with severe allergies or strict dietary needs. Children may join, though the class is designed for adults. Advance notice of dietary restrictions is required to assess suitability.

Itinerary
Embark on a unique three hour culinary adventure in the Capital Food City. Join fellow participants in mastering the art of crafting Tagliatelle pasta with authentic house-made ragù, all under the guidance of a skilled local sfoglina (teacher). Start with a welcoming aperitif of Mortadella, Crescenta, and Pignoletto, a perfect icebreaker to get to know each other and discover Italian gastronomy in a traditional Bolognese kitchen. Next, you'll prepare a Casoni spritz, a unique cocktail made with local herbs and recipes, setting it apart from international brands. Then, we'll begin making the pasta dough by hand, no machines here; you are the engine that will bring energy to the rolling pin! Using locally sourced ingredients, eggs & flour, you'll shape and cook your pasta, which will be perfectly paired with our house-made ragù. Once the pasta is dry, we'll cook it together and combine it with the ragù and parmigiano reggiano 24 months aged, all accompanied by local red wine, San Giovese! To finish, as every Italian meal requires, enjoy local coffee and amaro and our mystery gelato! **Recipes will be sent in PDF format via the Viator chat 1h after the class has started.
