-50/50 Sauce Week, Cavatappi, Alfredo/Traditional Marinara & Meatball/Italian Sausage

Day 8, Meal 16

My Rating:

My Rating:It’s combination time! I really like the idea of mixed sauces as it definitely makes things fun and more creative for flavors. While there are already a good variety of choices of 6 sauces available, including Creamy Mushroom, Traditional Marinara, Five Cheese Marinara, Traditional Meat Sauce, Alfredo & Asiago Garlic Alfredo, having the ability to combine 2 together turns 6 options into 36 options. I decided to Cavatappi with a 50/50 of Alfredo and Traditional Marinara, paired with a Meatball/Italian Sausage topping: This meal was very good, and the only thing I didn’t realize was Alfredo mixed with Traditional […]

Since I had such a good experience from getting feedback from others with their meal choices, I decided to follow that route again from the same person who provided my meal choice that resulted in my last 10/10 meal rating.

Today is also the last (work) day of the government fiscal year, so I had to make it a quick visit for lunch time in case something pops up during my lunch break. Since I’ve exhausted all original Pasta, Sauce and Topping options, I need to start with the combinations. What better way than altering my current top choice, which consists of Cavatappi, Five Cheese Marinara and Crispy Shrimp Fritta, so I swapped out the sauce for some Asiago Garlic Alfredo and this is the result: One thing that always impresses […]

Day 2, Meal 3

My Rating:

My Rating:For my third meal, I did a lot of back and forth on what I wanted to have. I like to plan my choices ahead of time, and I knew I wanted to try the Shrimp Fritta, but wasn’t really sure how to enjoy them, which pasta or sauce to get… I finally selected Cavatappi with Five Cheese Marinara.. Glad I did: For those savvy shoppers out there, if you are considering getting Shrimp Fritta and don’t have a Pasta Pass, ensure you get it for your first choice, as it’s the most expensive ($4.99 add-on in my area) […]
