Homemade Gnocchi with Mamma Agata

Learn how to make soft, pillowy homemade gnocchi in this hands-on virtual cooking class — just like Mamma Agata has been doing for generations in her kitchen in Ravello. We’ll begin with the secrets behind creating the perfect gnocchi dough: light, airy, and made with simple, quality ingredients like potatoes, flour, and a touch of love. You’ll discover how texture and timing make all the difference!

Once the gnocchi are shaped, you’ll learn how to transform them into one of Southern Italy’s most comforting dishes: Gnocchi alla Sorrentina, baked in the oven with gooey mozzarella and fresh basil. The magic? It’s all in the Mamma Agata’s signature tomato sauce — a simple yet rich “mother sauce” that elevates any pasta dish and brings out the full flavor of the gnocchi.

This class is ideal for pasta lovers, beginners and experts alike, who want to recreate the warmth of Italian family cooking at home. By the end, you’ll have all the skills to make gnocchi from scratch — and the confidence to do it again and again.
