If you ask me for a restaurant recommendation in New York City, or if you\u2019re visiting me, the first spot that quickly comes out of my mouth is Rubirosa. I first discovered this iconic NYC Italian-American spot when someone suggested we eat dinner there one night in 2017, and it\u2019s been my go-to since then. While their Instagram-famous Tie-Dye<\/a> pizza<\/a> has my total<\/em> heart (we\u2019re talking tomato, vodka, and<\/em> pesto sauce on this pie!) and you absolutely have to get it when you go, I wouldn\u2019t dare replicate this masterpiece at home. However, Rubirosa now sells a variety of their staples like olive oil, sauces, and pastas<\/a> so you can bring Rubirosa\u2019s delicious glory straight to your kitchen. And I was lucky enough to give the popular NYC restaurant\u2019s Pasta Sampler<\/a> a try! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n I already had the pleasure of trying Rubirosa\u2019s extra virgin olive oil months ago, which made any dish I made instantly feel fancier, so I was over-the-moon to get the chance to try out this Popcorn Factory-sized tin of the restaurant\u2019s popular pastas. The restaurant\u2019s new online storefront is especially exciting because if you\u2019ve tried to snag a table IRL, you know it\u2019s quite the challenge \u2014 I\u2019ve often waited two hours once I added my name to the waitlist. So, taking their pasta and sauces home is the best way to get the Mulberry Street experience without a reservation! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n The trio includes three unique pasta shapes that\u2019ll make weeknight dinners feel so<\/em> much more elevated: Lumache, Trottole, and Casarecce. This ultra-giftable tin includes 1 pound of each pasta<\/a> \u2014\u00a0now that\u2019s a lot of noodles! Whether you mix them together or keep them separate, there are so many combinations you can create. Add on Rubirosa\u2019s signature Vodka Sauce, Marinara, and Olive Oil, and you\u2019ve got a fancy dinner that even you\u2019ll impress yourself with (you can buy a gift set<\/a> of all these goodies). Psst<\/em>: Rubirosa is kind enough to have their recipes online<\/a>, so I recommend taking a peek for some seriously mouthwatering inspo! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n What\u2019s more iconic than the beloved popcorn tin around the holidays? A popcorn tin overflowing with Rubirosa\u2019s pasta, of course! Whether you live in NYC or not, it\u2019s the perfect way to bring Rubriosa\u2019s flavor into your kitchen without having to leave your home. And best of all, when you\u2019ve eaten all of it (which I promise won\u2019t take long), you can repurpose the tin however you like<\/strong>. Might I suggest buying more Rubirosa pasta and filling up the tin again? If you don\u2019t want to purchase their pastas individually, this is the ultimate way to try them all at once. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n And if you\u2019re looking for the perfect holiday gift for the pasta lover in your life, you can\u2019t go wrong with this sure-to-delight sampler. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat is the Rubirosa Pasta Sampler?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
