Lasagne alla Bolognese Day

Bolognese ragù needs a long, slow cooking time, so it cannot be made from start to finish during the class. We prepare it in advance, ready for you to use in your lasagne, allowing you to focus on the hands-on work covered by the lesson.

The lasagne are not eaten at the school. At the end of the class, you will take away the lasagne you have made, ready to be baked in an oven and enjoyed later. Please bear this in mind when planning your visit.

Each participant makes six portions of lasagne. You will take these with you at the end of the experience, ready to enjoy later or share with family and friends. The lasagne are supplied unbaked and will need to be cooked in an oven.
