To precede this bash of a particular dish from the Commons, I would like to mention that I have been pleasantly surprised by the food more than once. They have a fresh make-your-own salad bar complete with the spinach I've grown accustomed to finding in salads at home, a decent - though slightly redundant - brunch menu of breakfast tacos with real eggs (if they're powdered, they do a good job of hiding it), and some very delicious Polenta with Garlic & Parmesan.
To be fair, I'm not really one for pastas made with red sauce in general, but this one was even more mediocre than its predecessors. I took the first bite of my Baked Pasta Torte with Fontina and noticed a taste unforeign to plants, but usually not consumed by humans. That's right, my pasta tasted of dirt. Now, to say that the pasta did not contain other flavors would be a lie, but that earthy taste was inescapably present. I must say that it very well complimented the fat worm-like shap of the noodles, but I would expect such a dish to be served as a joke, or on Halloween - for which it would be appropriate, but the Commons main dish just didn't live up to my expectations tonight.
