Food Info - Pasta: Fresh vs. Dried Pasta
Source of Recipe
"In the Kitchen With Rosie" by Rosie Daley
I prefer dried pasta to fresh for several reasons, not the least of which is that it lacks the fat and cholesterol of the fresh variety, which is made with eggs. Better-quality dried pastas can be purchased in a seemingly endless range of flavors--usually at a fraction of the price of fresh. They hold up to the most robust of sauces and are simpler to cook.
If you use fresh pasta, be sure to separate the strands before adding them to the pot so tht they don't stick together while cooking. Timecarefully. Fresh pasta is done in 3 to 5 minutes and can be overcooked easily.
