Handmade Gnocchi With Chef Darren

In this session, you’ll combine simple ingredients like ricotta and Parmesan to create gnocchi that are delicate, tender and rich in flavor. Chef Darren will guide you through each step, showing you how to properly mix the dough, shape the pieces and cook them so they stay light and pillowy. Throughout the class, you’ll also pick up practical tips that make homemade pasta approachable for cooks of any experience level. After shaping the gnocchi, you’ll prepare a creamy pesto sauce made with fresh basil, garlic, cream and a splash of lemon. When everything comes together, you’ll enjoy the finished dish and leave with a reliable Italian recipe to recreate at home.
