I realized I’ve had quite a few great bowls of pasta lately. I thought I’d take a moment and share some of the best in this quickie food porn post. I’ll try and do more of these as I turn my Instagram obsession back towards this blog. That damn app is like candy rigatoni. You just can’t stop at one. I thought I’d been staying away from pasta but obviously, based on the below, this is the farthest thing from the truth. My suggestion for the best way to explore the morsels below is to find a string of nice Sunday afternoons and indulge in these dishes week by week. For some reason eating pasta on Sunday is much easier forgiven than during the rest of the week. I’ll chalk it up to being a “product of your environment”. You can chalk it up to us telling you to do this. Win win right? The map at the bottom will link you right over to foursquare so you can add these to your hit list.
