Review: Mabee Pasta

Assuming you're getting sick of veggie burgers (I know I am), you might be considering something a little more adventurous. Unfortunately, Trinity doesn't provide any avenues for adventurous eating, vegetarian or otherwise, so your next best bet is the Trinity pasta place.

If you go to Mabee, you know how few vegetarian options they offer. The pasta bar is a haven for vegetarians, providing a variety of vegetables, different types of pasta, and even tofu, giving vegetarians a rare source of protein (the lack of which is the scourge of every vegetarian diet).

However, this wouldn't be a Living La Vida Veggie post without a good pro-con list, so here goes:

PROS
1) The pasta bar provides a large amount of food, meaning that you don't have to try make an entire meal entirely out of side items (a common meal for the Trinity vegetarian). It also provides you with a lot of carbs and a lot of vegetables, forming a pretty complete meal.
2) As mentioned above, it gives you protein, both in the form of select vegetables, and in the enticing possibility of as much tofu as you want.

CONS
1) It's pretty expensive, even by Trinity standards. Adding sauces and meats makes the price tag even more hefty - while the pasta is good, I wouldn't recommend eating there too often.
2) It's good - but like every other food at Trinity, it gets really repetitive really quickly. The vegetables never really change, and tofu will always be tofu. There's also only one type of sauce the vegetarian can get - the meatless marinara - so every pasta ends up tasting the same - pretty good, but pretty dull.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Trinity Pasta is a pretty good choice when you get sick of the veggie burgers. Don't eat there too often though - your taste buds will get pretty sore along with your wallet.
