Tuscany Meets Emilia

I have always loved Tuscan cooking as much as Emilian cooking. They’re different, but they understand each other: both respect the ingredients, follow the seasons and love a shared table.
In this class we make Tuscan tordelli together — big filled ravioli that in Tuscany are served with ragù — and Bolognese tortellini, small and meant to be enjoyed in broth. Two filled pastas, two different ways of sitting at the table. And at the end we taste everything, because understanding food means eating it.

I learned to make pasta from my grandmother, Nonna Tittina. Today I open my kitchen in the hills of Bologna to travelers and food lovers from all over the world.
