The portion sizes are fantastic and, as I’m counting calories, I’ve been splitting some between lunch and dinner if they aren’t to be shared with the rest of the family (too expensive to waste on them if they don’t enjoy them as much as I do!)

I’ve ordered the Nduja sausage one again as the OH declared this possibly the nicest pasta dish he’d ever tasted. It is comparable to eating at a very good Italian restaurant (though it has been a long while since we’ve lived near one of those). I’ve also ordered the lobster tortellini again. I discovered the company when trawling the ‘net (pun intended) for lobster dishes for my birthday last month and saw these tortellini at Waitrose. I couldn’t get a slot in time for my birthday but I didn’t let that put me off. I haven’t had one that I wouldn’t order again yet. I may not be able to afford the 2021 Floriday at this rate (should I be hoping we’re not allowed in still so I can enjoy more 5 minute pasta dishes?)

The tiramisu is to die for. Nuff said.

We tried pasta evangelist but found the meat based sauces to be very salty. We are used to much less salt, so we're a bit disappointed as the underlying flavours were delicious... we tried 4 or 5 dishes, but they were all over salty. Mind you we find the simply cook spices and pastes to be overly salty too, so we've probably just trained our tastebuds with a lower salt diet
