In 2020, we wanted to introduce Scarpetta to the rest of the UK. Which is why we designed our fresh pasta meal kits. Each kit contains traditionally crafted pasta, using flour freshly milled in Southern Italy, indulgent sauces and a garnish to match.
All of our pasta dishes are ready to shop now. But if you’re not sure which ones to send to the kitchen, here’s a few notes from the chef…
For the Nduja pasta obsessives
Nduja is having a moment right now. And it’s easy to see why. A speciality of Calabria in Italy, it’s a medium-spiced spreadable sausage, and is classically enjoyed on bread or used within pasta sauces.
Our Nduja pastas have always been a popular choice, which is why we’ve created two delicious dishes for you to prepare in just 5 minutes at home.
The Tortelloni Nduja Mascarpone is packed full of flavour. The soft cheese texture is offset by the spicy and smokey Nduja. The tortelloni is hand-folded with a crushed pistachio garnish, and we’ll also throw in our signature 24-month-aged Parmesan to finish things off.
If you’re looking for something a bit richer, we’d recommend the Nduja and Tuscan Sausage Mezze Maniche. This one’s got an extra spicy kick for fans of chilli.
For the Truffle lovers
Truffle and pasta are a match made in heaven. Whether you’re a meat-eater or prefer the vegetarian option, there’s a truffle dish to suit.
If you like a meaty pasta dish, the Beef and Truffle Ravioli is the one for you. Each Ravioli piece is shaped to perfection and filled with succulent, slow-cooked beef and black truffle.
For vegetarians, we’ve got the Tagliatelle Mushroom and Truffle. Within this kit, you’ll find Autumnal mushrooms and truffle, handmade Tagliatelle and Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top before serving.
They’re both super easy to make in just a few minutes - perfect for a busy weekday lunch, or when you want a delicious dinner with minimum effort!
For the cheese worshippers
Cheese is a big part of Italian food culture. It was the Romans who lay claim to creating the perfectly-aged, full flavour cheese that we love. Most of our meal kits arrive with Parmesan for you to dash over the top before serving. But here’s a couple that have that extra cheesy taste.
The ultimate cheesy pasta is the Pici Cacio e Pepe. It’s an Italian institution. We make it just like Romans did, using the finest pecorino cheese and black pepper. The pasta in this dish absorbs the creamy, cheesy sauce to create an indulgent experience for everyone to tuck into.
The Gnocchi Tomato Mozzarella is another classic. Each of our fresh potato gnocchi are delicate on the outside, and filled with melting mozzarella and tomato.
We’d also recommend the Rigatoni Carbona pasta kit. This one is made using the traditional Roman recipe, using both Pecorino and Parmesan Cheese. The Rigatoni pasta takes on the cheesy sauce beautifully, giving you that satisfying bite every time.
