Red & I are heading to Italy in June, and we're excited about our 3-weeks trip, touring Rome, Venice, Bologna, Florence, and Milan! One of the activities that we wanted to book prior to getting there is a cooking class in Bologna. We wanted to do all of them, of course, but can not fit all three into our trips! So, tell me, which one would you do from these classes below and why? Thank you!!

I would do the Fresh Pasta Dishes because it looks like you would be learning to make different types of sauces!
I would pick something that you won't necessarily learn on your own or back home. The Romagna Style Pasta has quite a variety (cheese AND meat fillings), but the Fresh Pasta Dishes seems very diverse too. (I know, that was two, I was really of no help to you!) ;)
I think I would pick the last one because it looks like you can make the most variety.
Marda and I think you should choose the Traditional Bolognese Pasta Dishes because they sound like something you might actually cook when you get home. Also, we both love garlic!!!! You can't get more traditional than garlic!!!
Yeah, I was thinking the same way too with jenncuisine. I think you'll get more learning out of the the last one. I think it also said that you'll learn to stuff pasta too, so that's definitely a bonus.
Then, at home you can try a bunch of different things to stuff with.
I would do the first one because well, you are at the SOURCE. And you will learn lots of techniques and tips that you can apply to any sauce or pasta you make.
I would pick the fresh pasta. learning to make so many kind of sauces sounds awesome, i wish i could make them... wait i wish i could taste your cooking!!hehe
If it were my choice I would go for the FRESH PASTA DISHES....more of them.....looks like more fun too!

Thanks everyone, it looks like the Fresh Pasta Dishes is the winner here ;-)
