Cait's Plate: Pasta de Pasta - The place to indulge your pasta cravings

Pasta de Pasta, located at 192 1st Ave., is a new restaurant that opened in East Village last June.

If you're a pasta lover and you're looking for a reasonably priced dish, then this is the place for you.

You can get a fresh in-house pasta for as low as $9.90.

I heard about this place on Instagram and I knew I just had to try it for myself.

Customers are given the option of their sauce and any additional toppings.

If you've seen other posts, what probably caught your attention is that it's only $9.90, but that only goes for the simple Fettuccine Alfredo.

It is, however, made in a parmesan wheel cheese.

If you get Fettucine pasta noodles with any other sauce, it will be extra.

The restaurant is very inviting and there is a window where you can witness the magic that goes into making it.

I'll be honest, the first time that I went there, the pasta was hot, but the noodles were a little sticky.

My second visit was a lot better as the noodles were al dente, yet the temperature of my food could have been hotter.

On both visits, I had the pesto with the dried tomatoes.

The taste of the pesto was just perfect and the sun dried tomatoes gave it a tangy zing.

I also tried a bite of the jumbo shrimp with red sauce and that was delicious as well.

It definitely had a bit of a spicy kick to it, but not too spicy.

The next time I go, I'll definitely try their arancini!
