Gnocchi Pesto

Being half Irish and half Italian, this little ridged dumpling represents the best of both worlds-PASTA MADE FROM POTATOES!!

First boil the potatoes to make the dough, save that water. Next you’ll form this delicate dough with just the potatoes, flour, egg, some of that water and a pinch of salt…then roll it into ropes…then you’ll cut the snakes [they call them snakes too] into ¾ inch pieces…then you’ll roll the pieces across a special board to form the distinctive ridges…then you’ll drop you dumplings into boiling salted water to cook…finally, once they are ready you’ll drain and toss with the pesto that you just made [you’ll make traditional pesto too by the way, in the traditional manner, with a mortar and pestle, that’s where the name comes from, see, you’re learning already].

Take your spoils home, or eat it all up there paired with wines taken right from the barrels in the winery, all made on site. Class includes a tasting of wine specially selected by the vintner to compliment the evenings dishes.
