Think gnocchi is too complicated to make at home? Think again. In this interactive class with Chef Maggie, you’ll master the Roman-born pasta that’s low-cost, filling and endlessly satisfying. Start with potatoes, flour and a pinch of seasoning to form a soft dough, then roll and cut it into delicate dumplings. As they cook, whip up one of two classic sauces: a nutty basil pesto with Parmesan or a rustic marinara with tomato, onions and peppers. Chef Maggie makes the process approachable and fun, so you’ll leave with the confidence to add homemade gnocchi to your weekly dinner rotation — no restaurant required.
