This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. In your 2 hour hands-on Bologna cooking class learn to make pasta from scratch. Margherita will take you through the step-by-step process of making the dough, shaping it, cooking it and also preparing the sauce to go with it. You can choose one from these different pasta options - tortellini burro e salvia or strichetti al sugo di tonno or pasta e fagioli or spaghetti alla Bolognese. After cooking, sit down to share the dish you helped prepare along with a few dishes that were pre prepared. If you choose the market tour option, please meet Margherita in Piazza Giuseppe Verdi and walk to the ancient market of Quadrilatero. The 'Quadrilateral' is a bustling area in Bologna’s city center with craft and trading traditions dating back to the middle ages. Here you will find stalls selling everything from fresh fish to local fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, regional wines, homemade tortellini pasta and fresh Italian breads. Enjoy a cup of coffee before you walk back to Margherita's apartment to cook with the ingredients you bought at the market.
