Ricotta Gnocchi with Sage Butter and Guanciale Crumbles
Join Chef Oli for an interactive and elevated pasta-making experiencefocused on mastering the art of ricotta gnocchi- a lighter, more approachable cousin to the traditional potato version. You’ll learn how to prepare pillowy gnocchi from scratch, sear them to perfection in a brown butter sage sauce, and top them with crisp guanciale and freshly grated Parmesan. Chef Oli’s teaching style blends fine-dining precision with cultural storytelling, guiding you step-by-step from dough formation to plating like a pro.
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).
The nature of our classes is set up so that booking parties will work together during class, sharing both ingredients and equipment. Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. Drinks are available for purchase from the venue and are NOT included in the ticket price. Outside drinks are not allowed. 21+ only.
For class related questions please contact our customer support team via email at hello@cocusocial.com. Our venue partner provides the space for us to conduct class, but our customer support team will be able to assist with any questions you may have related to this class.
