Description
Good to Know
If regular pasta feels a little too predictable, this gnocchi-making class with Chef Ben is your delicious plot twist. Hosted at a stylish local venue in San Diego, this interactive experience turns potatoes into pillowy Italian comfort food with plenty of laughs along the way.
Start by making simple gnocchi dough with potato, flour, egg and salt, then learn how to roll, cut and shape each piece by hand. Chef Ben will share tips for getting that light, tender texture instead of dense little potato bricks. While the gnocchi cooks, you’ll make a creamy vodka sauce with tomato paste, heavy cream, garlic and Parmesan. Expect a cozy, hands-on class, plenty of tasting and a final dish that might permanently ruin store-bought gnocchi for you.
A fun, hands-on 2-hour cooking class led by a talented local chef.
All ingredients and cooking tools provided.
Expert instruction, tips and chef secrets you’ll use daily.
An authentic experience hosted at a local public brewery, distillery, craft beer bar or wine bar.
Drinks are available for purchase on-site at the bar of the venue.

Chef Ben will guide you step-by-step through preparing gnocchi dough with potato, flour, egg and salt before teaching you how to shape each piece into tender Italian dumplings.

Every technique is beginner-friendly, practical and easy to recreate at home. By the end, you’ll sit down to enjoy a comforting homemade gnocchi dish that feels restaurant-worthy without the restaurant price tag.
