Pasta Meal Kit – Scarpetta Pasta

Patrick and Uberto grew up in Italy. After moving to London, they started Scarpetta Pasta to replicate the Italian experience of sharing food. They now boast three locations, which are truly beloved. This year, they launched their wonderful Pasta Meal Kit. 

Scarpetta’s Pasta Meal Kit

In 2020, Scarpetta Pasta launched their Pasta Meal Kits, with pasta made fresh every day. If you’re craving pasta, all you need to do is visit their website, order your box or start a subscription and BOOM! Pasta is on its way.

I had the chance to taste and shoot some of the vegetarian options. There’s so much to chose from; I had the  Pici Cacio e Pepe, the Conchiglie Gorgonzola & Walnuts, and the Pesto & Mozzarella Gnocchi. There’s also a selection of starters and desserts, so you can have a full meal delivered – from start to finish.

The Scarpetta Meal Kit Experience

I love this box for so many reasons. It’s easy to make and requires no cooking skills. That means that it’s accessible to literally anyone. You’ll get the sauces – which you need to reheat, the fresh pasta – which you need to boil as per the directions, and the individual garnishes for each of your dishes. For me, the garnishes are what take this kit from good to great. You get restaurant quality food in the comfort of your home.

Pasta Photography

On a personal note, it’s always such a treat to shoot pasta. It comes in all shapes and sizes, and there are endless possibilities. Pasta is also so photogenic just on its own, which makes macro shots so appealing. Lastly, it’s a food that requires specific finishing touches – like grated cheese and maybe herbs like basil – and I love to capture those.

As a photographer, I’ll never say no to shooting more pasta.

The nitty gritty

The shoot took place at my London studio, using the Scarpetta Pasta’s meal kit. All food styling and photography done by me.

If you want to see more of my work, have a look at my portfolio or my shoot for The London Honey Company, also in my studio.

Lastly, don’t forget! You can always connect with me on Instagram and Pinterest.
