It was actually his cofounder, Alessandro Savelli, who came up with the idea in 2016 after attending a pasta-making class.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But within five days, Lagun had joined the startup and brought with him years of experience at Amazon, Zipjet and HelloFresh\u2014as well as growing up with a serial restauranter for a dad.<\/p>\n<p>Just two years later, the duo appeared on Dragon\u2019s Den (the British and original variation of Shark Tank) where they were shut down and told that the idea for fresh artisanal pasta that\u2019s delivered to Brit\u2019s doors was \u201cpasta le disaster\u201d in front of 4 million viewers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&quot;Pasta Le Disaster&quot; Brings The Dragons To Boiling Point | Dragons&#039; Den\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uqGClOUApt8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Looking back, perhaps the Dragon\u2019s regret not investing in the brand: In the same year, London\u2019s iconic luxury department Harrods launched a Pasta Evangelists fresh pasta counter.<\/p>\n<p>Within two years of being dismissed by the Dragons, Pasta Evangelists were making \u00a314 million in revenue before being acquired by Barilla, the world\u2019s biggest pasta company, for \u00a340 million.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>30,000<\/p>\n<p><cite>The number of guests learning how to make fresh pasta at the Pasta Academy.<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Today, it\u2019s cemented itself as the U.K.\u2019s leading pasta subscription service complete with the nation\u2019s biggest pasta factory to keep up with its steady stream of orders and 48 dark kitchens across most major cities to serve customers their favorite tagliatelle, spaghetti or penne dish pronto.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also moved on from just serving up COVID-era home kits. Now pasta lovers can head to the company\u2019s Pasta Academy for cooking lessons or to the leafy suburb of Richmond, to dine in it\u2019s first-ever restaurant\u2014with another 20 in the works for the next five years.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"sc-fa0656e5-0 gIAhfJ\" \/>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The finances<\/h2>\n<p><strong><em>Fortune:\u00a0<\/em>What\u2019s been the best investment you\u2019ve ever bought?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My first home in London, a flat in Hackney costing \u00a3575,000.

Rather embarrassingly, it took me 8 attempts to pass my driving test; I was almost 30 before I did so. Safe to say, therefore, that I am no Michael Schumacher. So when, after finally passing my test I bought my first car for \u00a312,000, I accepted that I would \u2018run it into the ground\u2019. And run it into the ground I have: less than 2 years after buying it, its value had dropped to \u00a36,000 owing to all of the little \u2018bumps and scrapes\u2019 I had subjected it to\u2026<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n<blockquote><p><cite>Lagun and colleague outside their store in Richmond, London:<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\" style=\"margin:auto;max-width:960px\">\n<p>Pasta Evangelists<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>How do you commute to work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I\u2019ve eaten too much pasta and feel I need an aerobic lift, I cycle\u2014it\u2019s the fastest way at around 20 minutes.

Equally, I wouldn\u2019t use a watch: I instinctively check the time on my phone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where do you shop for your work wardrobe?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reiss is always a good bet, though the best linen shirts come courtesy of Luca Faloni. During the summer I like to wear Birkenstock sandal-style footwear, in winter either Hunter or Barbour boots.<\/p>\n<p>Barbour is a Geordie brand, from South Shields in my native Tyneside, so I always feel like I am channeling my hometown when wearing my Barbour jacket, scarf or boots.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The necessities<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>How do you get your daily coffee fix?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to coffee, I am a complete philistine and prefer to drink instant coffee as my general go-to drink. I make this in the office with a dash of milk and no sugar. If I\u2019m out and about, I\u2019ll have either a cappuccino (mornings only) or double macchiato. I am very promiscuous in terms of where I buy coffee so cannot profess to have one preferred brand over another.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What about eating on the go?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If I am unfussy in my coffee consumption, I am far more selective about my eating. It is no exaggeration to say that a poor meal can ruin my day, as there are, after all, only a few opportunities to eat in that day \u2013 so if it isn\u2019t good, that\u2019s a lot of forfeited joy for one day!<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n<blockquote><p><cite>The millennial co-founder making pasta with Chef Mario:<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\" style=\"margin:auto;max-width:959px\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"959\" height=\"1014\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;height:auto;object-fit:cover;width:100%;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;)\" src=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/37A3277-e1727701018631.jpg?w=1440&amp;q=75\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Pasta Evangelists<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>I do eat lunch \u2018al desko\u2019 regularly but I order from Deliveroo all the time.

We otherwise order food (often an Indian, Japanese or Chinese) or eat out. When eating out I like to try cuisines I have never experienced for. One of my most memorable eating experiences was at a place called Dilara, an Uighur cuisine restaurant in Finsbury Park. I happened to be in the area, saw it on Google Maps, and decided to try it. The food was so spicy, redolent and full of flavour, with hand-pulled noodles and intoxicating Sichuan peppers. It never ceases to amaze me how many exquisite foodstuffs lie in wait to be discovered from across our planet.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The treats<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>How do you unwind from the top job?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am the first to admit that, after a long and stressful day, I like to unwind with a drink.

Most recently I added a bottle of Appenzeller Alpenbitter, a bitter that I found in a small tavern in the Swiss Alps.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\">\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been to 68 countries and this will increase to about 75 by the end of 2024.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n<p>A Hendrick\u2019s with cucumber and lots of ice is always a good choice, especially in summer.
