I wasn't sure about it myself, so I decided yo ask my Japanese friend.
She told me that the following 3 sentences sound natural to her:
Kikai ga aru to shitara, sushi wo tsukuru no wo naraitai.
Kikai ga aru to shitara, sushi wo tsukuru koto wo naraitai.
Kikai ga aru to shitara, sushi no tsukurikata wo naraitai.
Apparently, both "koto" and "no" as elements transforming a sentence
into a noun are appropriate with the verb "narau".
I cannot explain to you why "wo" particle is used in this case instead
of "ga", which is usually used in "V+tai" grammatical pattern. I read
that in some cases "wo" is more natural then "ga", but I do not know
exactly in which context. I will try to explai it in more detail as
soon as I read something more about it, but help from some experiences
native speaker of Japanese would also be very appreciated.
