The Pasta Co-Op is a pasta shop located in the outside food court of Crocker Park. As usual, I was in a rush and didn't have a ton of time, but hey, who can go wrong with pasta? While ordering, I asked the gal working if the Pasta Co-Op was a local business or a franchise. She wasn't sure. Upon further research online, the Pasta Co-Op is locally owned and operated.
I ordered the Turkey Truffle Bolognese to-go. My pasta was ready in about 10 minutes. When I opened it, it had a different presentation from the menu picture. Not good or bad, just different and very compartmentalized. Next time, I'll probably order an alternative menu option. The dish felt like something I could have made at home. Still, it was satisfying enough and a large portion but just didn't have a ton of flavor.
I think the Pasta Co-Op is a place you should really eat at in-person, maybe that would change the experience. Yet, I love the idea of what they're doing (so unique) and I still want to give it another shot!
