Portland: Fun Gnocchi Making Class With a Local Chef｜United States

Roll up your sleeves and discover just how satisfying homemade gnocchi can be in this hands-on cooking class. Depending on the date you select, you'll learn from Chef Jesse or Chef Jimmy as you prepare fresh potato gnocchi from scratch and pair it with a flavorful homemade Italian sauce.

You'll begin by preparing the gnocchi dough, learning how to combine and handle the ingredients to achieve a light, tender texture. Then, roll the dough into ropes, cut it into bite-sized pieces and shape each gnocchi using classic techniques.

Once your gnocchi is ready, you'll cook it until perfectly tender before preparing the sauce. Depending on your selected date, you'll make either a classic marinara with tomatoes, onion, garlic, basil and red wine or a creamy pesto with fresh basil, garlic, Parmigiano Reggiano and olive oil.

Along the way, your chef will share practical tips for preparing dough, shaping gnocchi and building a delicious homemade sauce. At the end of class, sit down and enjoy the comforting Italian dish you've created while taking home techniques you can recreate for family and friends.
