What’s not to love – Disney and pasta? They had me at Hello!
If you are staying at the Port Orleans Riverside resort, you are just a stone’s throw away from a little hidden treasure that is under $11 and entirely free when using a quick service dining credit with the free dining offer.
The Create-Your-Own-Pasta Bar is offered daily from 11:00 a.m. to midnight. In June 2009 we drove for 17 hours straight and arrived at the resort at 8:30 p.m. We were all starving, so we decided to check in and then go on over to the food court to eat dinner. We arrived at the Riverside Mill, I grabbed a tray, looked around at the signs that listed the available entrees, saw the word “pasta” and I was all over it. The cast member pulled out a bowl-shaped container and asked me what all I wanted in my pasta. I asked what I could have and she pointed to the extensive list of ingredients from which to choose:
Pasta: fettuccine, spaghetti, or penne
Sauce: alfredo, marinara, or pesto
Meat: chicken or shrimp
Toppings: artichoke hearts, broccoli, Cremini mushrooms, Kalamata olives, parmesan cheese, green peas, pine nuts, prosciutto, roasted red peppers, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and yellow onions.
You can choose as little or as much as you want. What did I have? Let’s just say that this was an Italian feast made for me and leave it at that.
While I was looking at the bowl, it didn’t look like there was much in it but when she handed it to me I almost dropped it because it was so heavy. My husband came up to me and asked me what I got. I looked at him with big eyes and pointed to the lady. Knowing that I am a true connoisseur of great cuisine, he walked straight over and ordered the same thing. I knew I married this man for his innate brilliance.
If you fancy some delicious pasta during your trip, the Create-Your-Own Pasta bar at the Riverside Mill is to die for!
