Pasta Special Cooking Class rolls tortelli and ravioli in the hills at Calestano near Parma, founder Virginia teaching in English with lunch or dinner included.

Cesarine's Homemade Pasta and Family Recipes class seats you in host Catia's Parma kitchen, rolling sfoglia for the dishes her family has always made.
