Pasta Evangelists is a London fresh pasta company that started as a delivery box, appeared on the BBC’s Dragons’ Den and now runs restaurants, a pasta bar in Harrods and pasta making classes. Its recipe kits are still the heart of the business: fresh pasta made by its chefs, a sauce and garnishes, delivered chilled so you can cook a restaurant quality plate at home in a few minutes. You can order a one-off box or set up a Pasta Plan, its flexible subscription. The brand says more than a million customers have eaten its pasta.

How the Pasta Plan works
You choose your dishes, your delivery date and how often you want deliveries to repeat. Your card is charged for the first delivery at checkout, then at the start of each week in which a delivery is due. You can change dishes in the Orders or Pasta Plan section of your account, pause the plan at any time in Plan Settings, and cancel by emailing the team. Changes, pauses and cancellations must be made at least 48 hours before midday on the delivery day. If prices go up, the brand says it will tell subscribers and let them cancel free of charge.
Prefer not to subscribe? One-off orders are available with no commitment, which is a good way to try the food first.
What’s in a typical Pasta Evangelists box
Each dish comes as a portion of fresh pasta, a pot of sauce and the finishing touches, such as grated cheese, crumbs or herbs, with a recipe card. Fresh pasta cooks in about three to four minutes in boiling water while you heat the sauce, so dinner takes ten minutes or so. A typical order might combine a Bolognese ragù with egg tagliatelle, cod ravioli with a tomato and basil sauce, gnocchi with a seasonal pesto and a tiramisù to finish. Kits arrive chilled in an insulated box; in central London, smaller boxes can fit through the letterbox. Pasta and sauces should be eaten or frozen within two days of delivery.
What makes Pasta Evangelists different
- Proper fresh pasta. This is a pasta specialist, not a general recipe box: the shapes, filled pastas and sauces are its own, and the quality is restaurant level.
- Minimal cooking. Unlike HelloFresh or Gousto, there is no chopping or prep. Boil, warm, combine, serve.
- A big menu that changes. Seasonal dishes rotate every week alongside the classics, with vegetarian and kids options.
- More than delivery. The same brand runs London restaurants, hot food delivery, catering, gift boxes and Pasta Academy classes, which tells you how seriously it takes its pasta.
Is Pasta Evangelists worth it?
If you love Italian food and want something better than supermarket fresh pasta without spending an evening in the kitchen, yes. The dishes taste like a good trattoria, take minutes, and a double portion at £11 to £16 is far cheaper than eating out. It is not a cheap way to feed a family every night, though, and it only covers one cuisine, so most people use it as a weekly treat rather than a full meal plan. Our verdict: a Pasta Plan delivered every week or two is the sweet spot, and the one-off option makes it easy to try first.
