THE ART OF BOLOGNESE TORTELLINI
THE ART OF BOLOGNESE TORTELLINI
The jewel of Bolognese cuisine: learn the art of the perfect fold
Tortellini in broth and with parmesan cream: Bologna’s most precious dish, from the filling to the closing of the "Venus navel".
Tortellini are the true test of a Bolognese cook. Small, perfect, filled with magic. In this class, I will teach you how to fold them just as grandmothers did on Christmas Eve: one at a time, with patience and love. It is not just technique; it is poetry.
We will start right away with our hands in the dough. I will guide you through the preparation of the pasta sheet, thin as a veil, and the traditional filling – that secret blend of meats and mortadella that makes Bolognese tortellini unique in the world. Then comes the magical part: the closing. Your fingers finding the rhythm, the pasta folding perfectly around your finger, the "Venus navel" taking shape before your eyes. You will learn the movement that transforms a small square of pasta into a masterpiece.
When everything is ready, we will sit around the table to enjoy the fruit of our labor. We will start with a crunchy vegetable pinzimonio, then you will taste your tortellini in two versions: immersed in a warm broth that enhances them and wrapped in a parmesan cream that cradles them. Two preparations, one single perfection. We will toast with a glass of local wine and conclude with our homemade tiramisù and a good coffee.
This is the most technical class I offer, a true challenge that requires concentration and dedication. But when you taste your first handmade tortellino, you will realize it was worth it. It is the perfect experience for those who want to take home not just a recipe, but a piece of Bolognese history.
