Fresh pasta also takes less time to cook than the dried variety.
It is easy to make, costs little to produce and provides a nutritious meal when combined with herbs, tomatoes (and other fresh vegetables), sauce and cheese.

Specialist producers make a range of fresh pasta, and many high street supermarkets stock a good selection of freshly packaged pasta and pasta products which just need to have a sauce added (with a few fresh vegetables) to produce a true Italian meal.
Chefs and Pasta The ease and cheapness of fresh pasta - coupled with a growing awareness of quality fresh foods - has encouraged many chefs to make their own pasta for filling with traditional classical fillings or to create new ideas.
