It’s no secret that the restaurant industry has been hard hit by the pandemic situation.
Many have been forced to pivot into unfamiliar territory to survive – happily for us though, this has meant more opportunity to enjoy restaurant quality food at home, directly to our doors.
Fresh pasta kits are the ideal foodstuff for transporting to our kitchens at home: expertly cooked, perfectly seasoned sauces that are ready to be heated up alongside just-made artisan pasta makes for a no mess delivery and fuss-free cooking and eating experience that requires zero kitchen experience.
If you’re committed to the cause, many pasta delivery services offer a subscription model, allowing you to enjoy that gourmet Italian experience on a weekly or monthly basis.
Others offer a full three course meal experience right down to the cannoli, but on Friday nights only – the choice is yours.
We tested a range of mouth-watering pasta deliveries over the course of a few weeks and found comfort and joy in everything from hearty Sicilian sauces to crowd-pleasing carbonaras, delicate ravioli and everything in between.
Parmesan at the ready, here is our pick of the pastas for some carby comfort.
You can trust our independent reviews. We may earn commission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence selections, which are formed from real-world testing and expert advice. This revenue helps to fund journalism across The Independent.
The Verdict: Pasta delivery services
We’ve picked the lovely Passo to Go pasta as our IndyBest buy as it ticks boxes for value, quality, ease of preparation and – crucially – deliciousness. We also appreciate that it has taken pains to make its fabulous kits available throughout the country and loved the cocktail add-ons, which gives a sense of occasion. We also fell in love with the La Tua Pasta provisions boxes, which include an incredible amount of food for the price and are ideal for entertaining. Londoners have their pick of the pastas and we urge you to eat each and every one of them.
