Miss Pasta offers a couple dozen freshly made pasta and sauce selections, all served in a fast-casual atmosphere.

It’s kind of hidden away in a shopping center in Richardson. The entrance doesn't face the parking lot or the street, so it’s a bit of a challenge to find. Once we did, we were greeted with a long counter display of an array of freshly made pasta with a huge menu hanging over it all: overhead shots of all the dishes one could order, numbered from one to 30.
Deciding on the pasta to order was difficult with the myriad of choices available in both pasta and sauces: there was spaghetti, fettucine, rigatoni, tonnarelli, creste, tortelli, gnocchi, fusilli and even lasagna, along with a varied selection of sauces that included Bolognese, agio e olio, cacio e pepe, carbonara, pomodoro, tartufo, pesto and vodka. It can be overwhelming.
However, each pasta was married to a particular sauce. You cannot pick and choose. It’s not like you can select rigatoni with pomodoro, or tonnarelli with pesto. Each pasta for the most part has more than one sauce or style available, but this isn’t a pasta version of Chipotle.After much soul searching, we finally settled on rigatoni all’amatriciana and creste di gallo broccoli e salsiccia .
