From a classic Italian tomato sauce to creamy pesto pasta, there is something to delight everyone at dinnertime

Marks & Spencer shoppers have been treated to a best-selling range of ready meals as the supermarket boasts more than 30 “delicious” recipes.

Available in the Foodhall now across the nation, pasta lovers will be thrilled to learn that there are plenty of Italian-inspired feasts available for those in need of a quick fix.


Announcing the news online, M&S shared: “Our best-selling Italian meals are ideal for filling your fridge for those nights where you need a speedy feast or just can’t face cooking.

“We have over 30 delicious recipes to choose from, like our NEW Chicken Pesto Pasta with creamy pesto sauce, Chicken, Tomato & Mozzarella Orzotto with Italian tomatoes, and our Spicy Meat Feast with our signature three-hour slow-cooked Italian tomato sauce!”

The retailer raved that every dish was made with Italian pasta, alongside British chicken, beef and pork or sustainably-sourced seafood.

“So even though they’re speedy to cook, you know we’ve always taken our time to perfect them for you,” the British supermarket assured.

Love it or hate it, M&S has launched a series of Marmite-inspired creations, from Marmite-flavoured cheese to Cheddar and Marmite Sausage Rolls.

They have extended this highly popular range to the ready meal aisle with Mac & Cheese with the quintessentially British spread.

And, sure enough, fans have flocked online to share their enthusiasm for the “amazing” products, commenting that they “can’t stop thinking about it”.

Meanwhile, another pondered the inclusion of more vegetarian-friendly options, saying: “The orzotto would have been lovely as a vegetarian dish.”

Relatively new to the ready meal scene, orzotto is an Italian dish reminiscent of the classic risotto but made with pearl barley instead.

The new dish “features succulent pieces of British chicken breast tossed in a rich tomato and mascarpone sauce alongside Italian pasta, topped with oozy, creamy mozzarella”.
