There are two kinds of Alfredo sauce in this world. The kind that comes out of a jar and the kind you make yourself with real butter, fresh cream and proper Parmesan. After this class you will only be making the second kind. Chef Christine walks you through the whole thing in a relaxed, beginner-friendly setting, starting with a simple pasta dough of flour, eggs and olive oil that you will knead, roll and hand-cut into fettuccine noodles. Then comes the Alfredo, rich, velvety and seasoned with garlic and parsley until it is the kind of sauce that makes the room go quiet when people take their first bite. Comforting, satisfying and genuinely impressive. Louisville night out sorted.

Gnocchi sounds like the kind of thing only Italian grandmothers can pull off. Chef Christine is about to prove that very wrong, and make it genuinely fun in the process. In this laid-back, beginner-friendly class you will go from a pile of Russet potatoes and flour to a plate of pillowy homemade gnocchi tossed in a brown butter sauce with crispy sage, black pepper and a finish of Parmesan and fresh chives that makes the whole dish sing. Along the way you will learn how to work a gnocchi dough, shape it properly and nail the brown butter timing, that precise moment between golden and gone that makes all the difference. Come as a complete beginner. Leave as someone who makes gnocchi from scratch now. Louisville dinner parties will never be the same.
