🧑🍳🍝 Nonna for a Day
It was a pleasure welcoming Asta and Daniel for a hands-on journey into one of Reggio Emilia’s most beloved traditions: making tortelli verdi, a recipe passed down through generations and one that I learned from my own grandmother.
We started the day with a visit to a traditional Parmigiano Reggiano dairy farm before picking up the fresh ingredients needed for the dough and filling.
From there, we moved to my apartment—once owned by my grandmother herself—where we rolled up our sleeves and got to work. Together we prepared the filling, kneaded and stretched the pasta dough, and shaped our tortelli completely by hand.
More than a cooking class, it was a chance to slow down, share stories, and experience authentic Italian family traditions over a glass of Lambrusco.
✨ A fun and memorable experience to enjoy with friends, family, and fellow food lovers while discovering the true flavors of Emilia.
