Looking for fun things to do at home? This virtual cooking class will transport you to the gorgeous region of Campania, in Italy and have you cooking up hot, fresh, homemade gnocchi from scratch, called “Gnocchi alla Sorrentina”.
This particular recipe is named after the famous town of Sorrento, just off the Campanian coast (hence the name "Gnocchi alla Sorrentina"). It's a hearty and warming dish that is incredibly comforting on colder winter nights.
Traditionally and for the ultimate indulgence, gnocchi should be made from scratch and with this cooking class online, we will do just that.
INGREDIENTS & SHOPPING LIST:
1 x egg
200gr of flour
500gr of pre-cooked potatoes (floury or starchy potatoes are best)
Try to cook them a few hours before so they can cool down before we start. Preferably bake them for 35 minutes then remove the skin. Make sure they are really soft inside.
For the sauce:
1 x tomato can (passata)
About 10-15 fresh cherry tomatoes
2 x garlic gloves
Lots of fresh basil leaves
2 x balls of mozzarella cheese
A few tablespoons of parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper
UTENSILS REQUIRED:
Knife & Fork

Cutting board
1 Cooking pot for the pasta
