Editor Karen Barnes: "Butternut Squash and Sage tortelli from The Fresh Pasta Company. It has just the right balance of sweetness and savouriness. Add the scent of sage, reminiscent of wood smoke, and you have it - autumn on a plate."

"Fortunately The Fresh Pasta Company (the clue's in the name, we suppose) ticks both boxes. Made with top notch ingredients and traditional production methods, its handmade venison tortelloni (£5.99 for 250g) is delicious with a simple sprinkling of parmesan, or topped with a classic red wine tomato sauce. Eat the rich, plump pouches al fresco and you could (almost) be in a Tuscan trattoria." The Lady - (view online)

"I would give The Fresh pasta Company 4 stars out of 5. It is great pasta, it is really, really quick because fresh pasta cooks very, very quickly, and it was delicious. I really enjoyed it, specially the Butternut Squash one."
