Join us in our spacious and welcoming Lang Spoon Community Kitchen for a fun and informative workshop where you’ll learn how to make and perfect two staples of Italian cuisine – pasta and gnocchi.Pasta only requires a few simple ingredients to make and a few simple steps to cook. With gnocchi, the key to perfection is finding the right potato to make them with (floury not waxy varieties). Once your creations are made there are endless and delicious ways to enjoy them!
We’ll teach you the basic techniques and give you the confidence to experiment at home.
We’ll mix and knead our dough, using flour and fresh eggs, to create silky smooth pasta sheets that we’ll turn into ravioli.
We’ll create light and fluffy gnocchi that are the perfect comfort food for a cosy evening at home.
We’ll make:
Spinach and ricotta ravioli: filled pasta and a great introduction to pasta making.
Potato gnocchi: a simple dumpling dressed with a light sauce that has existed since Roman times.
Sage and brown butter sauce: a warm buttery sauce with the addition of fresh sage leaves.
We’ll discuss variations you can try out and suggest sauces to go with these. All recipes are suitable for and can be adapted to vegetarians/ vegans. Please note wheat and dairy will be used in the workshop, but we can adapt if we are able.
Our workshops are fun and informal, our tutors will support you to prepare the recipes, we’ll chat and answer questions as we go.
The course is suitable for beginners and people with some experience interested in trying out something new.
