Modena and Bologna's rolling pin challenge
27 chefs working on 400 kg of pasta in total took part in the event! The winners, and therefore the best traditional tortellini, reinterpreted tortellini, tortelloni and lasagna, were chosen by a jury of specialists presided over by “gastronaut” Davide Paolini as well as a people’s jury of over 250 people. The initial part of the competition was held at Palazzo Re Enzo on 25th and 26th January. 16 chefs from the tOur-tlen association took part. The competition was judged by a people’s jury - 200 people have dined in the amazing setting of the Sala del Podestà in Palazzo Re Enzo where they savoured an entrée of Felsineo Mortadella and bread from Forno Calzolari, two samples of traditional tortellini, reinterpreted tortellini, reinterpreted tortelloni and traditional lasagnas, dessert provided by Gino Fabbri and Gabriele Spinelli. The dishes were paired with wine from the Bologna hills. The jury then voted for the best dishes of the evening.
