If you’ve ever tasted Vapiano’s pasta then you can probably understand how the Italian restaurants have sold more than 62,000 kgs of the dish this year so far – it’s simply delectable. Now, the Italian eatery has once again invested in a vessel worthy of its greatness – the mighty cob loaf. Yep, you can have your pasta in a cob – and you can eat the bowl too! Now that’s innovation, friends. The OG carbonara cob loaf is back, which sees a crusty cob filled with Vapiano’s signature creamy spaghetti carbonara and topped off with parmesan cheese.

This time around we can also stick a fork into two new tantalising flavours. There’s the pomodoro cob, a pasta accompanied by vine-ripened tomatoes and onions, with the option of parmesan or vegan cheese. Last but not least there’s a bolognese cob, which combines pasta with tender beef and pork, onions, carrots and cherry tomatoes, which is then served in a delicious cob loaf with parmesan cheese. The carbonara and bolognese cobs are just $29, and the pomodoro is $24.

These carb-loaded babies are only available until the end of October, so we suggest you run, not walk, to Vapiano now. To discover your closest Vapiano restaurant, hop over here.
