Cooking Class: Creating Unique Gnocchi

Discover how delicious gnocchi can be in this immersive cooking class. Under the guidance of Chef Zen, you'll learn how to put a unique and creative twist on traditional gnocchi.


First, you'll use a potato sourdough starter to make sourdough gnocchi. Learn the technique for kneading the dough and shaping it into the pillowy-soft pasta. Then, make a creamy crawfish sauce flavored with Cajun seasoning. Practice knife skills to chop jalapeños, green peppers and garlic. Toss the gnocchi with crispy potato skins in the creamy sauce and top it with bacon and chive to garnish. You'll also make roasted peanut gnocchi for a play on "ants on a log." You'll make a celery root purée and combine it with cream, cream cheese and pickled raisin for a flavorful sauce to pair with the decadent gnocchi.
