| - I had walked past Pasta Pantry dozens of time and although unassuming, that's often times the best indicator of a great establishment (the door, a fire door it looks like, seems daunting and rather unwelcoming!). With a dinner to cook the next evening (pasta with lamb ragout), I meandered in, and Carlo, the proprietor, cut me up some fresh fettuccine (he did not have a wide enough contraption for papparadelle). Four servings of fettuccine came up to $6.50. He also gave me what seemed like dozens of tips on cooking and storage.
Sure enough, when I cooked up the fettuccine the next day, it was SO GOOD. Lots of egg in the pasta, and it cooked in about a minute's time. Perfectly al dente, and there was a nice bounce to the noodle as well! If I could do so, I would've eaten all 4 servings myself.
I will return for soup, meatballs, and other pastas!
