About Fresh pasta

Fresh pasta is an uncooked, moist pasta dough shaped into strands, sheets, or other forms. It is commonly made from flour and water or flour and eggs, but the ingredients vary by style and product. It is used in dishes where pasta is cooked shortly before serving, and may be sold plain or filled.

The dough is pliable and usually cooks to a tender, soft texture, with a mild wheaty flavour that can be richer in egg-based versions. Fresh pasta is sold refrigerated or occasionally frozen and should not be confused with dried pasta. Nutrition comparisons depend on the recipe, fillings, and whether measurements are for uncooked or cooked pasta.
