tagliatelle which is quite cool.
They come in tagliatelle balls which makes it easier for portioning so one ball is about right for one person.
The texture was quite nice so I got my tagliatelle craving satisfied.

[Review] Jamie Oliver Tortelloni review and fresh pasta and sauce range finds
I suspect these filled Bolognese tortellonis are regional because I have not spotted any @jamieoliver products at the tescos near me.
Anyway, I was given this pack of Jamie Oliver Bolognese Tortelloni pasta by someone in the south east.
On the topic of #jamieoliver I went to the TESCOs website found more Jamie Oliver pasta products:
Half a year later, I finally found more of these Jamie Oliver kits at a small Tescos Express along with his pasta sauces.
The Aubergine Parmigiana Tortelloni was another delicious one because of the tomato puree in the filling.

Jamie Oliver Butternut Squash Tortelloni 250G, Jamie Oliver Spinach & Ricotta Ravioli Pasta 250G, Jamie Oliver Aubergine Parmigiana Tortelloni 250G, Jamie Oliver Carbonara Tortelloni Pasta 250G.
Bolognese and butternut squash would probably be my picks.
According to the instructions, you just have to cook it in sauce and the tortelloni will soften.
As I didn't have any sauce, I replaced the sauce with butternut squash soup which worked just as well but the tricky part was cooking the tortelloni in the soup as it didn't really absorb the soup so I had to add some water.
Overall, the Tortelloni was delicious.
Just for fun, here is a throwback of the TVC I took part in for Jamies Italian restaurant in Hong Kong:
Tried the Butternut Squash Tortelloni which was tasty in tomato sauce.

[Review] M&S Marks and Spencers Made without wheat Gluten Free Spaghetti Carbonara
I felt like some carbonara so picked up the Marks and Spencers Made without wheat Gluten Free Spaghetti Carbonara which is the same as their regular Carbonara but made with gluten free and wheat free pasta.
The texture of the spaghetti was actually quite nice, it was firm with a chew.
The Carbonara sauce was quite creamy as expected but it was not smothered all over the pasta which was good so you can mix the sauce accordingly.

[Review] Co-op Feta and Red Pepper Pasta Bowl
The Co-op Feta and Red Pepper Pasta Bowl looked quite nice so got it.
Overall, it was filling and quite nice because I liked the tomato dressing which was appetizing complemented by the feta pieces.

[Restaurant Review] Trying the second Padella at Shoreditch
After getting addicted to pasta at Padella, I was delighted to learn that there was going to be a second branch in Shoreditch which finally opened on the 13th of February 2019.
As it was new, decided to try it as soon as possible so went there on a weekday for late lunch.
Padella offers affordable and tasty pastas which changed the scene in London.
They started off at London Bridge next to the Borough market where you will find endless queues of people going there.
Since there is a new branch at Shoreditch, I went and tried it two weeks after opening on a weekday lunch and we were seated within 10 minutes.
The layout of this place is on one floor with seating by the open kitchen, main dining area and another bar table by the other side.
The menu is much the same with the signature gnocci, pici caci e pepi and the parpadelle.
Sparkling water and Still water are complimentary.
As a fan of pastas, ordered the gnocchi, pici and tagliarini.
Started with the gnocchi with nutmeg butter which was a good start.
This has to be my ultimate favourite because each piece of gnocchi is soft and pillowy with a delicious taste of potatoes complemented by the nutmeg.
Next was the Pici cacio and pepe which looks like Udon smothered in delicious black peppery butter sauce.
Each strand is al dente with a firm texture to it.
Last but not least was the Tagliarini with dry chili and garlic.
It was good but I prefer the other one they did with Anchovy butter at Padella, London Bridge.
Still a good option for vegetarians.
Will definitely be back when they change the menu.

[Restaurant Review] Gigli at Flour & Grape
With so many fresh pasta restaurants about, Flour and Grape was another one that was worth checking out.
It is located near London Bridge on the corner of Bermondsey Road.
When I got there, I was greeted with a chefs making fresh ravioli and other pastas through the window.
I was lucky that I was early because the restaurant was quite full within twenty minutes after I sat down.
Before you order, they serve you sparkling or non water on the house.
The menu:
There were nine pastas to choose so I had to reduce my choice to one.
Clearly it was going to be the Gigli as I have had my fair share of ravioli and parpardelle at other places. To be honest, to compare I should compare like with like but not every pasta place serves the same pasta with the same sauce.
They also had taglierini with truffle but again I have had countless plates of pasta with truffle.
I ordered the Gigli which is pasta that looks like carnation flowers.
Gigli ~ sausage, fennel, chilli ragu, broccoli fiolaro
When it arrived, it did not disappoint.
Every mouthful was tasty especially because of the sausage and fennel.
In a way, it tasted like the Pappardelle with fennel sausages & peppercorn ragu at Padella except the pasta was different.
The gigli here had broccoli as well which complemented it nicely with some vegetables and green for the visuals but perhaps a little over cooked because the green was a bit dark.
Overall, I was impressed with the pasta and don't mind coming back again if there is something different on the menu.
