Never had pasta as good.
Super tasty.
The only pasta my daughter can eat with her sensitive stomach
Love this pasta and all the different sauces. Quick and easy to cook, great taste and no bloated feeling after. Just delicious tasting food
Hey pasta lover, fancy joining our team?
We’re growing fast, and we’d love to have more people around the table as we build what comes next.
We are Northern Pasta Co.
It all started with two of us, Matt, my husband and I, Imogen, on a farmers’ market stall in Cumbria, making pasta we were completely in love with.
What began so small has grown into our own factory and a wonderful team of people who love pasta as much as we do.
We care about British farming, making things properly and being proud of what we put out into the world.
We’re lean by nature, creative in how we think, and not afraid to try new things. We work closely together and believe that joy really matters, in the food we make and in how it feels to be part of the team.
