Pasta Basta

This might be a broad statement, but I believe that most people have an affinity for eating pasta. In this age of globalization, you can find pasta or noodles of some sort on the shelves of many grocery stores and markets across the world. Here in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, there is a restaurant that is democratizing pasta as a meal. This restaurant is called Pasta Basta. Pasta Basta is democratizing the traditional bowl of pasta by allowing their customers to customize their own dish. By personalizing the pasta, the customers have almost complete control over how the pasta will taste. You can choose from a variety of sauces including a beet meat sauce, coconut curry, pesto, or traditional marinara sauce. Besides the sauce, customers can choose their own pasta and add ins. The combinations a customer could make at Pasta Basta are many. I had fettucine with coconut curry sauce, smoked tuna, and broccoli. I went with a fried of mine and she had the whole grain fusilli with pesto and sweet potato. These are just a few of the choices you can make when you decide to dine at Pasta Basta. Within a few minutes of placing my order, my food was ready and I was eating. It is fast, delicious, and easy on the wallet.  If you are near Shuk HaCarmel in Tel Aviv, try Pasta Basta. There is another location in Jerusalem near Shuk Mahane Yehuda. I highly suggest Pasta Basta if you are a pasta junkie. Enjoy!
