This unassuming outdoor stand has become one of my favorite spots in Crocker Park and an extremely welcome relief from its neighboring stands (Auntie Annie's, the horribly overpriced Nathan's, and Subway). The menu is limited to a handful of options, but my personal favorite is the Sweet Corn Pesto with BBQ Chicken. The sweet BBQ sauce really drives the flavor of the pasta bowl, and the glazed carrots offer nice highlights. The corn pesto seems to add more texture than flavor (though possibly it's simply overpowered by the BBQ sauce). My second favorite is the Vermont Mac & Cheese--a simple preparation featuring a decadently rich cheese sauce.
Of course, the fresh pasta is a highlight. It is also, though, a bit of a limitation as the only noodle available is a somewhat thick, tubular corkscrew (I think cavatappi). In a perfect world, some fresh fettuccine or tagliatelle would pair well with the Spicy Shrimp Alfredo or the Truffle Bolognese. Regardless, Pasta Co-Op fills a nice niche of good food that can be served relatively quickly for the Crocker Park crowd.
