Love and gnocchi

The way to his or her heart just might be these pillowy, plump, Italian potato dumplings.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, singles are invited to hands-on gnocchi-making classes at the Kitchen Engine, 621 W. Mallon Ave., Suite 416.

Instructor Tiffany White will show unattached foodies how to make garlic bread, Caprese salad and gnocchi with fresh basil pesto, garlicky alfredo sauce, crispy fried pancetta and a balsamic reduction.

The $49 cost includes a gnocchi board for each participant, and there’s room for a dozen participants who want to meet new people who share their love of cooking.

Classes start at 5:30 p.m. and last about an hour and a half. The class for singles 40 and older is Tuesday. The class for singles younger than 40 is Feb. 13.
