Co-op has launched a new restaurant-style doubled filled pasta range made by renowned fresh pasta producers in Italy.

The range features four new premium flavours, including Brasato & Bechamel Ravioli, ‘Nduja & Burrata Cappellacci, Butternut Squash and Sage Cappellacci, and a Wild Mushroom & Mascarpone Mezzelune.

The new range takes inspiration from traditional Italian cooking and was crafted by Italy’s oldest filled pasta producers. Co-op will be the only UK retailer to offer a full premium range of double-filled pasta following the launch.

Made with free-range eggs, each parcel is ‘double-filled’ with two separate flavours in each of the pockets, which the convenience retailer said looks to “enhance the tasting experience” and cooks in just under four minutes.

Co-op head of own brand Nicole Tallant said: “We know our customers love the taste and convenience of fresh pasta, and we wanted to bring them a style of pasta usually only seen in top quality Italian restaurants.

“The team searched Italy for the best producer to help us achieve the quality and innovation we needed, and the four pastas we are launching are simply amazing. No need to cover them in any sauce as they are best kept simple, and the way in which the two fillings are kept separate but then combine when eaten, really does mean you get two distinct flavours in each bite. They are completely delicious.”
