Pasta Making Class in Columbus: Handmade Gnocchi with Chef Kayla

Roll, cut and cook pillowy gnocchi you shaped yourself

A two-hour hands-on pasta class in Columbus where you make fresh gnocchi dough, shape it into tender dumplings, then prepare a creamy roasted red pepper sauce and cook the meal together. Chef Kayla guides you through each step in a relaxed setting at a local brewery, distillery or bar, and all ingredients and kitchen tools are provided. Minimum age is 21. The class accommodates dietary needs with advance notice.

The experience

You start by mixing and working fresh dough with your hands, then roll it into ropes and cut it into bite-sized pieces. The shaping comes next: Chef Kayla shows you how to get that classic homemade look before the gnocchi goes into boiling water. While it cooks to a soft, pillowy texture, you move on to the sauce: roasted red peppers, garlic, heavy cream, Parmesan and seasonings all come together into something rich and clinging. Once the gnocchi is ready, you toss it all together, finish with freshly grated Parmesan and fresh herbs, and sit down to eat what you made.

The class runs two hours and takes place at a local public brewery, distillery, craft beer bar or wine bar in Columbus. Chef Kayla handles the instruction and shares practical tips you can use at home, whether you're a beginner or already comfortable in the kitchen. All ingredients and cooking tools are provided, so you focus on the hands-on part: mixing, shaping, cooking and tasting. The atmosphere is relaxed and social. You'll meet other food enthusiasts while you work.
