In this hands-on class, you will learn how easy and fun it is to prepare handmade gnocchi from scratch. We will begin with a brief discussion about the origins of gnocchi in Italy, including some variations across the country and internationally. Rumor has it the word itself derives from the term for ‘knuckle,’ referring to the pasta’s distinctive shape and texture.
With a few simple ingredients, a little muscle and a lot of love, whip up home-made pillow-soft dumplings just like Nonna! Pair with a delicious Brown Butter & Sage sauce and a glass of vino and you have a deliciously hearty meal to serve up for any occasion!
In this fun and interactive class, you will learn the tips and tricks of how to make a classic potato dough from scratch. Practice rolling out your gnocchi into logs and perfect its classic shape using a tool as simple as a fork. Enjoy your gnocchi with a Brown Butter & Sage sauce that Chef Christian will also teach you how to make from scratch.
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. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. 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).
