Overview

If comfort food had a master class, this would be it. Set in a welcoming local venue, you'll learn how to prepare Gnocchi alla Romana completely from scratch using simple ingredients that transform into something seriously satisfying. You'll cook semolina with milk and salt, then stir in butter, eggs and Parmesan to create a silky dough before spreading, cooling and cutting it into perfectly shaped rounds. Learn how to layer the gnocchi in the traditional scalloped style, top everything with melted butter and a generous shower of Parmesan, then bake until bubbling with crispy golden edges and a creamy, tender center. Every step builds practical kitchen skills you can easily recreate at home, whether you're brand new to cooking or already love spending time in the kitchen. You'll leave with a comforting Roman recipe, new techniques and a dish you'll want to make again and again.

What to expect

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.
