Sunny & Luna, the female-founded pasta brand, is set to shake up the fresh pasta aisle with a trio of vegetable-based gnocchi products launching into 365 Sainsbury’s stores this September, marking the first major supermarket listing for the brand.
Crafted in Italy with authentic recipes and real ingredients, Sunny & Luna is on a mission to make better-for-you alternatives to traditional Italian comfort foods more accessible to millions of households across the UK.
Containing 50% vegetables and offering a nourishing twist on Italian comfort food that counts as 1 of your 5 a day, the three gnocchi SKU’s launching into Sainsbury’s are Cauliflower Gnocchi made with fresh cauliflower, Spinach Gnocchi made with a blend of fresh spinach and cauliflower and New! Pumpkin Gnocchi made with pumpkin and cauliflower.
All three SKUs will be available in the chilled fresh pasta aisle.
The brand’s wider range, which also includes Lentil Tagliatelle made with lentils, chickpeas and peas and Spinach Ravioli made with fresh spinach, is available at Ocado, Whole Foods, Planet Organic, Zapp and independent delis and grocers across the UK.
Sunny & Luna was founded in 2022 by Milan-born foodie and ex-fashion model, Giulia Berretti, who spotted a gap in the market for authentic Italian pasta with a healthier twist
Giulia Berretti, Founder of Sunny & Luna said: “This Sainsbury’s launch takes Sunny & Luna from a challenger to a true UK household option.
“Growing up making pasta with my grandmother in Milan ignited my love for Italian food. Later, as a fashion model, I saw how carb-heavy foods like pasta were often demonised, especially among young women. Sunny & Luna was born to change that – to give people the Italian comfort food they love, with the nutrition they need to thrive. Getting that into millions of homes every week is a huge moment for our mission.
“Our entire range is made in Italy using authentic Italian recipes and real ingredients, with no preservatives, additives, or nasties. As a brand, we believe good food is more than just nourishment, it’s also about fuelling joy and fostering healthy lifestyles too.”
In the last three years, Sunny & Luna has quickly grown from a kitchen table startup to a nationally listed brand, winning recognition from Great Taste, Nourish Gold, Nourish Innovation and Vegan Choice. Already listed with Ocado, Whole Foods, Planet Organic, Zapp and independents, the brand continues to expand while proudly championing women-led business as part of the Buy Women Built community.
Alongside growth, Sunny & Luna has consistently backed initiatives supporting female entrepreneurship, accessible healthy eating and better food choices for families.
