In no particular order...

 “The Angel Hair Pasta Pomodoro (with added prawns) at Folsom Tap House is the best thing that’s happened to noodles since cheese. My mouth waters from the freshness of the tomatoes, garlic, shallots, herbs and grilled shrimp; mixed together, it creates a richness of flavors and is perfection on a plate.”

“If you’re looking to please your taste buds, the Fresh Salmon and Pappardelle Pasta from Bacchus House Wine Bar & Bistro will do the trick. A hearty amount of salmon (no skimping here) is sautéed with scratch-made noodles, leeks, shallots, capers, tomatoes, spinach, dill and Meyer lemon cream sauce, resulting in a meal that’s the perfect mix of light and indulgent.” 

“The Meat Lasagna at Strings Italian Café is rich and cheesy with a tangy sauce; plus, on Wednesdays the restaurant has all-you-can-eat pasta for $8.99—a deal that can’t be beat!” 

“The best pasta dish in Folsom is the traditional Spaghetti from Visconti’s Ristorante! Delicious handmade noodles serve as a vehicle for mouthfuls of the most amazing marinara ever—it’s flavorful, fresh and simply perfect.” 

“The Baked Meat Lasagna from Dominick’s NY Pizza & Deli is the closest thing you’ll find to homemade Italian lasagna—words fail. Bellissima!”
