What to expect

Learn how to prepare traditional green lasagna and homemade gelato. A hands-on experience in a cooking school in Bologna city centre.

You’ll begin by making fresh pasta from scratch, using spinach to create the just like the grandmas used to do! You’ll learn how to knead the dough, roll it out thinly, and cut it into perfect layers for the dish.

Next comes the creamy béchamel sauce, which you’ll prepare from scratch before layering everything together with a rich Bolognese ragù slow-cooked in advance, the traditional way, because real ragù takes time and can’t be rushed. Layer by layer, you’ll prepare your authentic Lasagna, ready for the oven.

With the lasagna in the oven, it’s time for something sweet: you’ll make one or two flavours of homemade gelato using seasonal ingredients and easy-to-learn techniques.

While everything comes together, we’ll enjoy a traditional aperitivo with local wine, mortadella, and regional ham.

Finally, you’ll gather around the table to enjoy your handmade lasagna and gelato—a true Bolognese meal, prepared and shared just like the locals do. At the end of the class, you’ll also receive the cookbook including the recipes of everything you’ve prepared, plus a few extra Italian.
