Dragons' Den call pasta business a 'delusional disaser' in 2018 show appearance

For those who walk away cash injections of tens of thousands of pounds, the daunting prospect of going on Dragon's Den is well worth the anxiety. But for the entrepreneurs who walk out of the Den empty handed, there's a drive to prove the Dragons wrong. One of those very people is Alessandro Savelli, who co-founded currently serves as the CEO of Pasta Envangelists - a fresh pasta chain which started as letter box posted kits. Alessandro and his business partner Finn Lagun stepped into the Den back in 2018 asking for a £75,000 investment for a 2.5 per cent cut of the company. But their pitch was rejected, with Dragon Jenny Campbell even calling them 'delusional' and 'a disaster'. Now worth around £40million, Pasta Evangelists' success grew and grew in the years after its ill-fated appearance on the show.
