Pasta Flyer Lands in the West Village

By Becky Hughes at New York University

Remember when we wrote about our favorite Kickstarter project, Pasta Flyer? It got funded! Now the startup pasta concept is hitting the West Village with a pop-up eatery, only in town from the 18th to the 20th. If you haven’t had the pleasure of tasting Chef Mark Ladner’s game-changing pasta at Del Posto, this is your chance. The pop-up shop, located at 7 Cornelia St., will be serving up Chef Ladner’s (wait for it)… made-to-order, Italian-meets-ramen-style gluten-free pasta bowls. Seriously. Forget the gummy, sad gluten-free pasta experiences of your past – this stuff is truly a gift from the carb gods. The process is simple: pick your shape (elbows, screws or tubes), sauce (porcina crema, garlicky pesto or tomato marinara) and add a protein if you’re feeling it (soft egg, meatballs, smoky bacon). The best part? In the spirit of fast-casual dining, dinner is served for only $12. So go ahead, treat yourself to a glass of wine. While you’re at it, give the gelato sandwich a try. Happy holidays to you.

Chef Ladner is one of the most renowned, creative people in the fine-dining industry, and he also happens to be a really cool guy. Stop by the pop-up and prepare yourself for a pasta experience like you’ve never imagined possible: Del Posto-quality dishes at street food prices, made miraculously allergen-free. Order up!
