Easter in Naples : Pizza Rustica & Pastiera

🐣 Easter in Naples: Pizza Rustica & Pastiera

A Hands-On Couples Cooking Class

📅 Saturday, March 28 | ⏰ 4:00 PM
👫 Couples Class | One Station per Couple

Celebrate Easter the Neapolitan way with Pizza Rustica, a rich, savory Italian Easter pie traditionally shared with family and friends after Lent.

In this hands-on couples class, you and your partner will work side-by-side to create this iconic Southern Italian dish from scratch—learning how to craft a buttery, flaky crust and a hearty, flavorful filling packed with cheeses, cured meats, and eggs. No prior pastry or baking experience is needed — just a willingness to cook together and enjoy the process.

Pizza Rustica is more than a recipe—it’s a tradition, meant to be made together, enjoyed slowly, and proudly placed at the center of the Easter table. Throughout class, we’ll guide you through each step, share the cultural roots behind this beloved dish, and give you the confidence to recreate it at home for holidays and special gatherings.

To complete the Easter table, dessert will be a traditional Pastiera — a ricotta-based pie delicately scented with orange blossom.

You’ll leave with:

• A beautifully baked Pizza Rustica

• Professional techniques you can repeat at home

• A deeper connection—to Italian tradition and to each other through a guided, unhurried evening in the kitchen.
