Why have they still not made dried pasta In powder/tiny bits form? I have to use my coffee grinder to make it and it's tiring.

Pasta is all about mouth feel. Flavor comes from sauce. Italians have the best and gayest cuisine. They sure love how things feel on their mouths.
>>21889033Some people egregiously undersalt their pasta, so that could have something to do with it
>>21889053>>21889062no, fresh pasta and dried pasta do not taste the same. artisanal dried pasta using high quality flour, cut with a bronze die and slow dried will not have the same flavor or texture as a mass produced dried pasta that looks smooth and yellow, and that's before we even talk about how the pasta interacts with the sauce.
