As the name suggests, The Yorkshire Pasta Company creates artisan pasta in Malton, a town widely considered to be the county's foodie capital. This small family business has won countless awards for their vegan-friendly pasta. That's because they take their time over making it, allowing the flavour to really develop. While mass-produced pasta can be manufactured in two hours, this handcrafted premium pasta is dried slowly overnight at low temperatures, so the process takes two days, lots of love and back-breaking effort. The first thing that sets this pasta apart from its rivals is the use of locally milled wheat flour instead of imported Durum semolina, which imparts a unique, robust and wholesome flavour. Secondly, this is bronze-cut pasta - a traditional method that leaves a rough surface for sauces to cling to. And finally, this is environmentally friendly, because not only is it locally made, but The Yorkshire Pasta Company is powered by solar panels, and they only use fully recyclable and plastic-free packaging. Sustainable and scrumptious. No.3 Conchiglie Rigate Pasta is the classic shell shape we all know and love. Comprising a ridged and textured outer and a smooth and cave-like interior, no other pasta holds sauce like it. This makes it a must for meaty, creamy and tomato-based sauces, but we heartily recommend it for mac'n'cheese or pasta bakes too.
