Enjoy a hearty Italian meal and a fun hands-on lesson in this gnocchi cooking class in the Hudson Valley! In Italian, there is a saying that translates to “Smile Smile, Mamma made the gnocchi!” You will be all smiles with sticky hands as you learn how to make gnocchi from scratch.
In this part-demonstration, part-hands-on class, you will learn to make four variations: sweet potato, pumpkin or squash, russet potato, and broccoli stem. These tasty recipes showcase the endless possibilities for gnocchi!
You will also learn the difference between gnocchi and pasta and practice proper handling of the dough for the ultimate pillowy texture. You will make your own batch of dough, roll it, and shape it into gnocchi. You can even take home some gnocchi (or dough) to cook for yourself at home.
We will cook batches of gnocchi for tasting: sweet potato gnocchi with sage brown butter sauce and a dairy-free broccoli stem with sautéed broccoli florets, garlic, and chili oil. You’ll also practice the proper cooking technique. Enjoy a meal of freshly cooked gnocchi and salad followed by a decadent tiramisu for dessert.
If you're looking for fun group activities or date ideas in the Hudson Valley, treat yourself to a delicious and lively Italian cooking class.

Recent reviews of Gnocchi Cooking Class

  • 5/5 from Christopher Clemente, attended Jan 2026: Laura was great. Super friendly and knowledgeable!
  • 5/5 from Cathy Parlitsis, attended Aug 2025: A group of friends and I attended the Gnocchi making class. Laura was incredible! I've taken dozens of cooking classes from Italy to CIA and Laura was the most informative chef I've ever experienced. She dropped knowledge bombs throughout the preparation and cooking that we will use in all of our cooking in the future. We made several different types - broccoli, potato, sweet potato - and paired them with unusual sauces that were a huge hit with everyone! Laura demonstrated some and we made our own as well. Chef Laura had everything pre-prepped for us to make cooking easy and enjoyable. We were able to see and try everything which will make recreating these recipes a breeze. She also taught us to make a surprise treat that we all loved! We thoroughly enjoyed cooking with Chef Laura in her beautiful kitchen and the dinner was the icing on the cake. The Tiramisu was soooo delicious!!! We will definitely be returning for more classes!!!
  • 5/5 from Felice Passarelli, attended Aug 2025: Our teacher was excellent. She was very informative, and gave us good tips. We made several types of gnocchi, and different sauces to go with them. Loved the class!
