Cooking Class: Make Perfect Gnocchi
Make gnocchi from scratch and a homemade sauce to pair with it in this hands-on cooking class.
To begin the class, you'll craft a refreshing salad with mixed greens and topped with burrata cheese. Finish it off with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette. Dive into pasta making by combining potato with ricotta and flour to make gnocchi. You'll master the technique to knead the dough and cut it into bite-sized pieces. As the gnocchi cooks, whip up an aromatic brown butter sage sauce and simmer tomatoes to make a marinara sauce. End on a sweet note with a decadent no-bake cheesecake layered with strawberries and cream cheese. Book your spot today!

This class exceeded my expectations by a lot. She was very knowledgeable, very understanding of our not being so knowledgeable, and all the time was fun to be around and so enjoyable.
