Instruction blends demonstration and hands-on work, with about one quarter of the class spent actively cooking, most of the session led by guided demos, and a brief portion reserved for down time. From choosing the right potatoes to cooking, saucing, and serving, participants build the confidence to recreate the full meal at home and take the recipes with them. Key skills include making classic Pesto alla Genovese in a food processor, understanding how ingredients and technique keep the sauce bright green and how to store it, and exploring potato type and moisture so the dumplings stay light, including why ricing matters. The lesson covers working 00 flour and egg into a delicate dough without overmixing, shaping with a gnocchi board so ridges grip the sauce, and boiling properly with well-salted water while using pasta water to achieve a silky finish. The session begins with a welcome, introductions, and refreshments, then moves into a step-by-step pesto demonstration. A short break follows before a focused look at mixing the potato dough. Students then roll, cut, and shape their gnocchi, watch a quick cooking demo, and wrap up by plating and enjoying the fresh gnocchi with pesto prepared during class. Amenities include a snack counter with house-made nonalcoholic beverages, charcuterie and fruit skewers, a dessert, and a Keurig coffee station. Aprons, professional gnocchi boards, and all required tools are provided, and everyone receives the class recipes. The evening concludes with a full serving of gnocchi and pesto. Tickets are nonrefundable. If attendance is not possible, a ticket may be transferred to another person but not to a different class. Doors open 10 minutes before the scheduled start, and those hoping to sit together should arrive when doors open since specific seating cannot be guaranteed even for groups who purchased tickets together.
