"If you threw “Midwestern pasta” into an AI image generator, you might get some cursed pictures of hotdish carbonara or jello salad bolognese. Luckily, Daisies has none of that. Instead, this Logan Square restaurant has some creative pasta dishes inspired by local Midwestern ingredients. Their eye-catching, reddish beet agnolotti, topped with crème fraîche and salmon roe, is a rich and salt-punched icon. But when it’s in such good company, like funky rigatoni and nduja or umami-packed gnocchi with chanterelles, picking a favorite from the menu can feel like asking a parent to pick a favorite child.
