Gnocchi looks intimidating but is far more achievable than most people think, and this class in St. Louis, Missouri is here to prove it. Starting from scratch with potatoes, flour, egg, and salt, guests build a batch of the freshest, most tender gnocchi in town while picking up the techniques that make the dough light rather than dense. From there the class shifts to the topping: a vibrant basil pesto made with fresh basil, olive oil, and pine nuts, layered over a silky mushroom cream sauce that turns the whole dish into something worth making again and again.

The class is social, beginner-friendly, and hosted at a local St. Louis venue, with all fresh ingredients and professional cooking tools provided. The session wraps up with everyone sitting down to enjoy the full meal. Beer and wine are available for purchase at the venue throughout the session.
