Cooking Class: Make Creamy Pesto-Topped Gnocchi
Learn to turn out your own delicate gnocchi for a fresh take on Italian dining in this hands-on cooking class. Chef Legina is ready and waiting to share her secrets for creating this delicious alternative to traditional pasta.
You'll use a blend of potatoes, flour and eggs to create homestyle dough and turn it into a batch of the freshest gnocchi in town. Then, turn your attention to the topping, a blend of earthy pesto with the goodness of fresh basil and silky cream sauce featuring tender mushrooms.
