Say hello to Imogen Royall. She's one half of Northern Pasta Co - the spelt pasta brand championing regenerative British farming, on a mission to craft unbeatably delicious pasta without compromise.

Based in Kendal up in Cumbria, the brand was set up in 2022 by Imogen Royall, an interior designer, and her builder husband Matt after falling in love with pasta, turning a seedling of an idea into a life changing obsession. The couple even got married "over a bowl of pasta in Italy". And the problem here in the UK is that most of our pasta is from a supermarket. It's dull, processed and quite heavy, leaving you feeling tired and bloated. Northern Pasta Co, by comparison is made of spelt which is light, nutty and full of flavour. It's also easier to digest because it's got less gluten in it. Perfect for those who want to fall back in love with pasta themselves with a joyful, restaurant inspired brand and range of sauce loving shapes and pasta styles. 

Fresh from a rebrand and having secured £200,000 for their next growth phase, Northern Pasta Co. is gaining momentum, with new stockists like Booths and Whole Foods, and more exciting partnerships on the horizon. In this episode, we delve into the incredible life changes Imogen and Matt have experienced over the past three years, the remarkable growth of their brand, and what exciting developments lie ahead. So, let's tuck in.
