Fun Gnocchi Making Class With a Local Chef in Philadelphia

Trade your usual dinner plans for a cozy local venue where flour, butter and plenty of Parmesan take center stage. In this hands-on cooking class, you'll make authentic Gnocchi alla Romana, a classic Roman favorite that's wonderfully different from potato gnocchi. You'll start by simmering semolina with whole milk and salt before mixing in butter, eggs and Parmesan to create a smooth, rich dough. After spreading and cooling the mixture, you'll cut it into signature rounds and learn how to arrange the slices in the traditional overlapping pattern. Finish with melted butter and more Parmesan before baking until the tops are golden and the edges are irresistibly crisp. Along the way, you'll pick up practical techniques for working with semolina dough, shaping and baking with confidence. Then it's time to dig into your warm, cheesy creation. Store-bought pasta is officially on notice.
