In brief: It's rare to find a place for lunch under $10 up here in the twenties, but Lamarca manages to do it for $7.60. 
And it's customizable! Pick your own sauce, pick your own pasta. We were kindly informed which were the popular ones, that people like to combine sauces, and that salads and soups were available too. A couple minutes later, presto! Hot pasta to order. The sauces are similar enough that you can mix the bolognese and the arrabbiata for something in-between. For under ten dollars and practically instantaneous gratification, the over cooked pasta can almost be over looked.
