Valentine’s Day foodie activities from Pasta Evangelists

2nd January 2026

Home cooks, take note: this Valentine’s, ditch the noise of busy eateries. Light some candles, pour a bottle of full-bodied wine – or bubbly – and let Pasta Evangelists handle the rest.

Savour meals where every bite rings true: soft, velvety drizzles meet delicate, labour-of-love noodles, made real right there beside you. Cooking side by side brings warmth, not stress. It fits quiet moments, not loud crowds. Cooking together – whether it’s two people or catching someone off guard – is less about the dish, more about taking time, sharing meals, one moment at a time.

Become pasta-making connoisseurs at the Pasta Academy’s exclusive ‘Love Knot’ masterclass (13th-15th Feb only)

Spend your Valentine’s weekend with an experience filled with romance and tradition in a very Italian way: learning to make a delicious fresh pasta with your loved one, with unlimited prosecco throughout! Available at all Pasta Evangelists restaurants including Queensway, Farringdon and New Oxford Street, the ‘Love Knot’ masterclass celebrates the history of the ‘love knot’ pasta which hails from the beautiful province of Verona, the romantic city where Romeo & Juliet is set. This limited-edition class is only available from the 13th – 15th of February.
