What to expect

Pumpkin, brown butter and pillowy homemade pasta? That’s fall comfort food done right! At a laid-back brewery in San Diego’s Sorrento Valley, you’ll join Chef Ben for a hands-on workshop focused on making pumpkin gnocchi entirely from scratch. Start by combining potato, flour, egg and pumpkin to create a soft dough, then learn how to knead, roll and shape it into delicate little dumplings. No pasta-making experience needed, just a willingness to get your hands a little messy.

Once your gnocchi is shaped, you’ll cook it until tender and prepare a rich brown butter sauce infused with fresh sage. Toss the dumplings in the nutty, fragrant sauce and bring everything together for a cozy, seasonal dish. With approachable guidance and a relaxed brewery atmosphere, you’ll pick up practical pasta-making techniques while enjoying a fun break from the usual dinner routine. Your favorite fall meal just got a homemade upgrade.
