“This ricotta recipe is rich and creamy. You will be satisfied to know how easily it can be created. Whilst fettuccine is the pasta you create when there’s limited time! It’s quick and easy to make from scratch, and pairing the flavours of the ricotta, sugo and fettuccine together are fresh and deliciously mouthwatering” - Pia Gava
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
In this fun and hands-on class, Season 9 MasterChef Contestant Pia shares one of her favourite dishes, handmade fettuccine paired with a rich sugo sauce and fresh homemade ricotta cheese.

WHO WILL HOST THIS EVENT:
Your host this evening will be Food Ambassador, Cookbook Author and Season 9 MasterChef Australia contestant Pia Gava. The experience of being a MasterChef Australia 2017 contestant had confirmed Pia Gava’s food passion. Pia’s food memories are strongly kept alive today, with recipes like her signature gnocchi dishes, homemade pasta, special occasion sweet treats and of course comfort food. She also wants to share her passion so everyone can have the same experience. Following the MasterChef experience Pia had work experience at Om Nom dessert bar in Melbourne and knew this food path had to continue. Pia had completed collating and writing family recipes and successfully self-published her first cookbook ‘Pia’s Table’ in August 2018 which celebrates history, tradition, food and family. Pia shares many family stories, her MasterChef signature gnocchi dish, pasta tips as well as many other family dishes that can be achieved by all. Given the cookbook's success, Pia has commenced researching and collating for her second cookbook which will have a more modern and seasonal theme. Pia continues to share her passion for Italian food and cooking through hosting cooking classes, cooking demonstrations and food events.
