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.

LOL my wife thought for years that all pasta was aldente - she prefers mush now - but then again - she likes miracle whip too
I modified my diet last year to exclude traditional pastas over gluten and carb issues.....I abhor wheat pasta and have found that Barilla makes a nice squash and carrot pasta with the same "bite" as the real stuff - counts as a serving of veggies too... cooks faster too
Noting against Barilla, I eat it at home all the time.
But they were definitely selling the impression that you were getting fresh pasta.
