Let’s clear something up: there is no comparison between dried, boxed, store bought pasta noodles and the fresh, homemade stuff. It would be like comparing a homemade Vodka sauce with a jarred version: not even a chance they’ll be remotely close. The flavor, the color, the texture, the way the noodles absorb sauce, they might as well be onion and garlic. It isn’t even close. And even though it may take a bit of muscle and sweat to make those fresh noodles, you will never regret the fact that you did it. So follow along with our online culinary course teacher as he shows you how to make homemade pasta dough.
