Well, we couldn’t wait to tuck in. We simply covered the PizzaExpress pasta with enough water that had been brought to the boil, mingled for 1-2 minutes, then turned it onto a plate. We found PizzaExpress pasta delicious when accompanied with a drizzle of olive oil, ground black pepper and a glass of Chardonnay.

Our verdict? The American Hot and Pollo Ad Astra varieties were spicy and strong in flavour, and for us these came out the clear winners. Do read on, to make your mouth water!
