Class Description

The most famous dumplings are the potato one that in Italy is known as “Gnocchi di patate” but in each region, there are many different interpretations of dumplings. In some regions, they are not even pasta dishes. The Gnocchi di ricotta or ricotta dumplings are a nice and tasty version to substitute the traditional potato gnocchi.

The time to prepare them is shorter, because they don’t include the potatoes’ long cooking time, and their dough is easier and softer to make. Perfectly seasoned with wild mushrooms and pancetta to give crunchiness to the dish.
