Hands-on Ricotta Gnocchi Class
Learn to make the lesser known (but no less delicious) pillowy and supple Ricotta Gnocchi!
At this part hands-on, part demonstration class, students will be guided through the entire gnocchi process, from making the dough, to rolling, boiling and tossing, (and eating) these delicious morsels.
The class will be led by Julia Cushing, a chef-educator with a specialty in pasta. Julia recently spent a summer in Umbria, Italy where she was sous chef to a prominent private chef in the area. Her love for pasta and pasta making skills continued to grow during these months, and upon her return, she has shared her newfound skillsets through Italian cooking classes at Apples to Zucchini Cooking. As a self-proclaimed a pasta fanatic, pasta was the first dish she learned to make when she was 6 years old.
The morning will start with a dough demonstration, where Julia will share her secret recipe, ingredients and authentic pasta making tips while making the dough from start to finish. Guests will break up into small teams and the gnocchi rolling party beings!! Once the gnocchis a ready, Julia will demonstrate a savory tomato based sauce. After the pasta making is complete, we’ll cook the gnocchi, toss them in the sauce, and enjoy a group luncheon with a side salad and fresh bread for sopping up all the remaining sauce. Beverages will also be served!
Join us! And Learn the technique behind this elegant and delicious recipe, and share with friends during the upcoming holiday!
