Emilia-Romagna Recipes

Emilia-Romagna is one of the most influential regions in Italian cuisine. Known as โ€˜La Dotta, La Grassa e La Rossaโ€™. La Dotta (the intellectual) because itโ€™s home to the oldest university in Europe that dates back to 1088. La Grassa (the fat) for its rich, hearty dishes such as Ragu alla Bolognese (the authentic ragu is not to be missed – itโ€™s incredible), Lasagne alla Bolognese (the ultimate comfort food) and Tortellini in Brodo. La Rossa (the red) for its iconic red terracotta rooftops.

Itโ€™s also the home to Parmigiano Reggiano, Balsamic Vinegar, Prosciutto di Parma and Mortadella. Take a look at our authentic recipes from Emilia-Romagna to enjoy some of these iconic dishes at home.
