Gnocchi, those pillowy potato dumplings representing a distinct pasta category, offer a rewarding cooking experience that emphasizes the fundamental importance of quality ingredients. This hands-on class demystifies gnocchi preparation from initial ingredient selection through finished dish, teaching you to identify superior potatoes and understand their role in achieving perfect texture.
Master the traditional recipe for gnocchi alla salvia under the guidance of our Italian Chef Instructor, who learned this authentic preparation in a Rome-based trattoria where the buttery sage sauce melts into every bite, carrying forward a culinary heritage passed down through generations. You will knead, shape, and cook the dumplings from scratch, developing confidence in this accessible yet impressive technique.
No previous cooking experience is necessary. We supply all equipment and ingredients; most items are easily found at local markets.
