GNOCCHI & BASIL PESTO COOKING CLASS

  • CultureWorks Greater Philadelphia 1315 Walnut Street, Suite 300 Philadelphia, PA, 19107 United States (map)

PRESENTED BY COCUSOCIAL

If you are a pasta enthusiast then you came to the right place!

In this hands-on class, you’ll master the art of making pillowy soft gnocchi from scratch, paired with a vibrant, fresh pesto that brings out the best in the dish. Together, we’ll explore pasta-making techniques that focus on achieving perfect texture, flavor, and consistency, along with some of the fun tools and tips that make gnocchi easy and enjoyable to prepare. Whether you're a pasta lover looking to add a new skill to your repertoire or simply interested in learning how to craft an impressive homemade dish, this class will leave you with the confidence to recreate these restaurant-quality flavors at home!

No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).

Please arrive 15 minutes early to allow time for parking and check in.  Street parking is available around the venue, as well as a paid parking garage at the Holiday Inn just next door. You will be seated with your booking party. The nature of our classes is set up so that booking parties will work together during class, sharing both ingredients and equipment. This class is BYOB. Beer and wine is welcome for those over the age of 21.
