Why Do We Love Fresh Pasta?

Fresh pasta reminds us that the best dishes are often made from simple ingredients – flour, eggs, and a love for authentic, homemade food. Unlike dried pasta, fresh pasta has a softer texture and cooks much faster – it only takes 2 to 4 minutes, making it a perfect choice to prepare something simple that the whole family can enjoy.

Fresh pasta is made exclusively from natural ingredients, without additives or preservatives, and it offers the authentic taste of Italian specialties that are hard to resist. One of the reasons it has become a favorite in kitchens around the world is its ability to absorb sauces perfectly, thanks to its soft texture – whether you’re enjoying a simple sauce made with olive oil, garlic, and parmesan, or indulging in a richer, creamier one with ground meat. It is a perfect match for homemade pesto, ragù, and Alfredo sauce, or a tomato-based sauce with capers and olives that brings out rich aromas and Mediterranean freshness.

It is also great for cold dishes, serving as a base for summer salads with vegetables, fresh herbs, and light dressings. It is ideal for those who like to experiment with different shapes and sizes – pappardelle and delicate tagliatelle are excellent for thick creamy sauces, while stuffed varieties like ravioli and tortellini are a good choice for a lighter bite.

Fresh pasta becomes an irresistible combination when paired with the delicate flavors of the sea! Try it with a light sauce made of white wine, olive oil, and garlic with shrimp or sautéed calamari, or enjoy the rich aroma of smoked salmon with capers and lemon zest. For an even better experience, pair these specialties with crisp white wines that offer fresh, citrusy notes, such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc – the herbal and fruity aromas of lime and green apple beautifully balance the flavors of seafood and fish.

Let yourself be carried away by flavors that celebrate simplicity, tradition, and true gastronomic pleasure!
