Offered in: English

Your potato is about to have a serious career upgrade. At a casual Ballard cidery, you’ll learn how to transform simple ingredients into soft, tender handmade gnocchi while enjoying a relaxed atmosphere that’s perfect for cooking, sipping and unwinding.

Begin by making the gnocchi dough, learning how to handle the mixture without overworking it. Next, roll the dough into ropes and cut it into individual dumplings, picking up practical techniques for shaping and preparing gnocchi along the way. You’ll then cook your handmade dumplings until they’re perfectly tender before finishing them with a flavorful sauce. Chef Jason makes the process beginner-friendly and hands-on, so you can focus on the satisfying rhythm of making pasta rather than stressing over culinary perfection. Come hungry, leave with new skills and enjoy the bragging rights that only homemade gnocchi can provide.

What to expect

Gnocchi night starts at a laid-back Ballard cidery, where you’ll trade takeout for pillowy potato dumplings made entirely from scratch. The relaxed setting makes it easy to settle in, get your hands messy and enjoy the process without worrying about perfect technique.

Start by preparing the potato dough, learning how to combine the ingredients and work the mixture into the right texture. Then roll and cut the dough into bite-sized gnocchi, practicing the shaping techniques that give each dumpling its signature look. Once your gnocchi is ready, cook it until tender and pair it with a flavorful sauce for a comforting Italian-style meal. Chef Jason keeps the process approachable, so even a first attempt feels doable. By the end, you’ll have fresh gnocchi skills, a satisfying meal and a pretty good reason to stop buying the packaged stuff.
