Our local Olive Garden used to make this big show out of a guy out front with dough making a bunch of fresh pasta. Then one of the waitresses confided to my wife that the pasta they were actually serving us was Barilla.

Barilla is not a bad pasta. It’s what another local Italian eatery uses.

Frankly, fresh pasta is only good for certain preparations, basically white sauces. Up against any kind of red sauce, you want dried pasta so you can get some texture. You can’t make fresh pasta al dente.
