Cooking Class: Handmade Ricotta Gnocchi With Chef Chris

You'll begin the class by transforming creamy ricotta into gnocchi using flour, egg and Parmesan cheese. Knead the dough and master the technique of shaping it into perfect little dumplings. As the gnocchi boil, whip up an earthy white pesto made creamy with ricotta and walnuts for a little crunch. Then, make a rich brown butter and sage sauce for an aromatic pair for the gnocchi.

Chef Chris was amazing to cook alongside! My mom and I loved to learn so much about working in the kitchen, especially considering I don’t ever cook! He’s inspired me to keep trying new things, and can’t wait to make my own gnocchi soon enough. Would highly recommend!
