Most people associate gnocchi with potatoes, but this South Bay Los Angeles class takes a different and arguably more forgiving approach: ricotta. Mixed with Parmesan and shaped by hand, ricotta gnocchi are softer, faster to make, and have a naturally rich flavor that holds up beautifully to a creamy sauce. That sauce is a pesto made the way it should be, fresh basil, garlic, and olive oil blended together, then stirred into cream with a bright hit of lemon at the end. What makes this class at a local Torrance brewery feel particularly accessible is the pacing — there's no pressure, no race against a difficult dough, just a relaxed two-hour session that leaves participants genuinely confident they could recreate the dish at home. All ingredients and tools are included, and beverages are available for purchase at the brewery throughout.
