Vegetarian Italy: Beyond Pasta

Experience the vibrant flavours of vegetarian Italian cuisine and go beyond pasta in this hands-on, interactive cooking class.
Join us in L’OCA Labs to explore fresh ingredients and classic techniques while preparing a complete vegetarian Italian menu from scratch.

In Vegetarian Italy: Beyond Pasta, you’ll roll up your sleeves and bring classic Italian vegetarian dishes to life:

• Start with a crisp and fragrant Fennel & Pignoli Salad, featuring thinly sliced fennel, toasted pine nuts, and a light dressing.
• Make Gnudi, soft ricotta and spinach dumplings from scratch, as a primo piatto, finished with a nutty brown butter and sage sauce.
• Cook a classic Caponata as a secondo, a sweet-and-sour eggplant and vegetable stew, and serve it elegantly with creamy polenta.
• For dessert, assemble a light and elegant Baked Yogurt topped with sweet, tart Amarena cherries.

By the end of the session, you’ll leave full, satisfied, and confident in your ability to prepare a complete, elegant vegetarian Italian menu at home.
