Pillowy, melt-in-your-mouth gnocchi is closer than you think, and you’re about to make it from scratch! In this hands-on pasta making class in St. Petersburg, you’ll learn how to make gnocchi with care, confidence, and a little bit of fun along the way. You’ll start with the story behind this Tuscan favorite, exploring its roots and regional variations before getting your hands on fresh potatoes to build your dough.
Step by step, you’ll shape your own soft dumplings and bring them to life with a classic pesto recipe that pairs beautifully with your homemade gnocchi. The process is broken down in a way that feels approachable and relaxed, so you can focus on enjoying each moment instead of overthinking it.
