They had several different types of pastas and several different types of sauce. You would pick whatever pasta/sauce combo you wanted and they would cook it and throw it in a to-go box with a piece of garlic bread. I guess it worked, because there's still one by my parent's house. So I think Pastagina has a fighting chance.

I hate food-court food, and any step up from it is a step in the right direction, in my opinion. I haven't seen it there yet, but I am interested in checking it out. Yay, and excuse to go shopping!
