1. THE DOUGH
“Creating dough is a primal act. Hands and ingredients collide to give
birth to something that was not there before...""
In this lesson we will try to reveal the secrets of the perfect dough and to make
different types of non-filled pasta: stricchetti, garganelli, tagliatelle, etc.
A fundamental focus for anyone who wants to seriously try their hands at the art of fresh pasta making.

2. CAPPELLI DELLA SUORA WITH BURNT WEAT: SMALL TREASURES WITH A MELTING HEART
In this lesson, we dive into filled pasta… but not just any kind!
We'll learn how to make Cappelli della Suora ("Nun’s Hats"), an elegant and original shape,
crafted from burnt wheat flour dough, with a rustic and slightly smoky flavor.
We’ll fill them with an irresistible creamy crescenza and Parmigiano filling, creating the perfect contrast
between the bold taste of the pasta and the delicacy of the filling.
This will be a lesson where hands-on skills, creativity, and flavor come together in a unique experience, because
pasta isn't just something to eat: it’s something to shape, to cherish, to admire… and then yes, to devour!

3. LASAGNE BOLOGNESE
Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dive into one of the most beloved dishes of local tradition:
Lasagna alla Bolognese! Together, we’ll uncover the secrets to making an unforgettable lasagna, layer by layer,
a masterpiece of flavor and comfort: green pasta sheets, a rich and aromatic ragù slow-cooked the traditional way,
and a velvety béchamel that brings everything together in a creamy embrace. Perfect for Sunday lunches
or to win over even the most demanding palates in just one bite!

4. VIOLET CAPPELLETTI STUFFET WITH PUMPKIN
When the earth has so much to offer, there's no need for animal protein and these delicious cappelletti
are the proof. A delicate pumpkin filling, wrapped in a soft, vibrant beetroot pasta sheet, both bold in
color and refined in flavor, the perfect dish to challenge even the most skeptical palates...

5. TORTELLINO
To celebrate our lesson series in the best way possible, we’ll turn the spotlight on the long-awaited
and utterly indulgent tortellino, a true symbol of Emilian cuisine. Its filling of carefully selected
meats is wrapped in an ultra-thin sheet of egg pasta.
Legend has it that its iconic, curvaceous shape was inspired by the navel of a woman...
