Shape delicious ricotta dumplings for the coziest Italian night ever in this cooking class!
Learn how to make Italian dumplings entirely from scratch in this relaxed, hands-on cooking class. You'll mix ricotta, spinach, eggs and Pecorino Romano with just enough flour to bring the dough together, then shape dumplings that hold their form without losing their delicate texture. After shaping, you'll gently cook them and coat everything in a warm sage butter sauce that smells amazing the moment it hits the pan. This workshop is great if you’re looking to feel more confident in the kitchen while making a classic Italian dish that’s comforting and surprisingly simple. By the end, you’ll have a plate that tastes like something from a cozy trattoria, only this time, you made it yourself. Book your spot today!

This was a delicious and delightful experience with Chef Alexandra!! Everything was pre measured and prepared for us. I'm a gluten intolerant person and Chef Alexandra not only provided me with gluten free ingredients and a safety bowl and tray. She was fun and professional at the same time. We enjoyed the company of the others in our class, too. A most educative and enjoyable experience!
