10 Best Supermarket Fresh Pasta UK | Waitrose Dell' Ugo and More

For our number one choice, it has to be this mushroom and mascarpone tortelloni by Rana. It can be hard to do tortelloni well, with many options out there offering mediocre results, but the grilled Champignon mushrooms and creamy mascarpone is heavenly, making for a relatively simple pasta that's sure to impress.

The ingredients taste so fresh and the texture is perfect for a pasta dish that can be ready in two minutes without an overcooked taste. Enjoy with a good glass of wine and some sourdough bread with oil and garlic for a real treat. You deserve it!

Sometimes nothing but the fanciest option will do, and if you want a bit of indulgence in the comfort of your own home, Dell' Ugo's Royal Estate Venison & Sloe Gin Tortelloni certainly won't disappoint.

Fresh egg pasta is packed with slow-cooked venison combined with aromatic sloe gin and sweet pink peppercorns for a total taste sensation. Providing complex yet balanced flavours, serve with a bit of melted butter, parmesan shavings and a drizzle of olive oil for a simple yet luxurious dinner.

A top ten on fresh pasta wouldn't be complete without a squash-filled offering, and Waitrose's pumpkin and pine nut fiorelli is gorgeously sweet and earthy. Delicate and light whilst still being filling, this pasta has an autumnal feel to it with a rich, nutty flavour and a delightful hint of sage.

The free-range egg pasta cases are filled with pumpkin, mozzarella cheese and pine nuts, which works well with pesto or a drizzle of olive oil and basil. Simply put, we think it's Waitrose's finest fresh pasta moment.

When it comes to cooking gnocchi, most brands recommend boiling on the packaging instructions but Dell' Ugo's can also be fried. Use a healthy glug of olive oil and a little melted butter for golden brown gnocchi that tastes like nothing short of a revelation.

Dell' Ugo have been around since 1929 and their range of fresh pasta has been developed by expert chefs using the finest Italian Altamura semolina. Their products feature heavily on our list and we believe this particular one to be the best gnocchi available in supermarkets.

When buying fresh pasta it may be tempting to go for the filled varieties, but we recommend considering plain options too, like this linguine by Essential Waitrose. Turn this ribbon-like pasta into something special with tasty ingredients like crab, chorizo, prawns or peas.

Easy to cook with a gorgeous taste and texture, it's a game-changer for your Italian dishes and won't break the bank either. A solid 5-star option on the Waitrose website, it provides a solid base to project your culinary visions onto!

We love it when ASDA's own brand comes through with a blinder and their fresh penne may look unassuming but it's a top-notch, affordable pick that may well become your go-to. Plus, the 500-gram bag is enough to feed a group of friends or the whole family.

Made from durum wheat semolina, pasteurised whole egg and nothing else, this highly-rated penne will complement a range of dishes with a delicate texture that perfectly holds creamy sauces. Bellissimo.

If you're only recently vegan and want something that fills the spinach and ricotta-shaped hole, look no further than Waitrose's vegan spinach ravioli. Made with a coconut derivative combined with spinach, sage and nutmeg it's sure to become your new (plant-based) cheesy favourite.

Sure, 'solidified coconut derivative' doesn't sound super appetising but trust us, you'll be surprised and it makes a delicious plant-based option for omnivores too. It's easy, light, and gorgeous with lemon, dairy-free cream cheeze or simply olive oil.

Gluten-free fresh pasta often feels like a compromise compared to the 'real deal' but this penne made with corn and rice flour has us feeling excited about gluten-free possibilities in Italian cooking. Also completely plant-based and free from all of the top allergens, it's a fresh pasta for everyone.

With a beautiful bite and texture, it'll have you checking the packet to make sure it's gluten-free so it's a good option for the whole family or when cooking for a group with different diets. The corn and rice flour make a tasty alternative and it's even low FODMAP too!

From humble beginnings in Verona, Italy, La Famiglia Rana is now one of the most well-known fresh pasta brands sold across the world. They've taken cook-at-home pasta to a whole new level with their classic Italian recipe kits which allow you to whip up delicious dishes in minutes. 

This kit is available across ASDA and Waitrose and serves one. Featuring fresh carbonara sauce, egg tagliatelle, oven-roasted pancetta and garnishes, it's easy to microwave. This is a good way to make pasta quickly but combining the ingredients can make the dough a little soft and watery, so if you have time to make it from scratch, that's still the better option.

In the world of supermarkets, Waitrose is considered to be top-tier, especially when it comes to products like fresh pasta. Both their Waitrose & Partners and Essential range provide an abundance of extremely high-quality pasta products, which is why you'll see them a lot on this list.

This chicken, mushroom and pancetta ravioli has all the makings of a top-notch fresh pasta, but it doesn't quite deliver in the same way as some of the other options. Chicken, mushroom and pancetta can be a great combo but it isn't as tasty here as you'd expect, and the pasta itself falls apart a little during cooking, which isn't ideal.
