You do not need to be Italian to taste the difference between fresh pasta and packet pasta. It shows up in three things: how it holds the sauce, how long it takes to cook and the texture when you bite.

## Puntos clave
- Sauce clings differently to each pasta
- Fresh: 2–3 minutes and a golden colour
- Dried: smooth, pale, thick sauces
- Price reflects daily, in-house work

## Texture and how sauce clings

Industrial pasta is smooth and pushes sauce away, which is why it gets thick sauces or cream. Fresh pasta has a rougher, more porous surface and holds lighter, less fatty sauces. If your pasta is swimming in thick sauce, it is probably dried.

## Cooking time and colour

Fresh egg pasta cooks in two or three minutes and comes out golden. Industrial pasta takes eight to twelve and stays pale. A kitchen that serves pasta on the spot tends to be working with fresh; if it has been waiting, it is dried.

## What the price tells you

Fresh pasta costs more to make: ingredients, time and daily waste. A plate of fresh pasta below a certain price raises the question of where it comes from. At San Marco, fresh pasta runs between €12.90 and €16.90 and is made every morning.

## Preguntas frecuentes

### Is fresh pasta easier to digest?
It usually sits better because it cooks for less time and often contains egg; heaviness tends to come from the sauce, not the pasta.

### How can I tell if the pasta is fresh in a restaurant?
Ask whether it is made on site and request it cooked al dente. If they cannot adjust the cooking, it probably is not fresh.

### Is fresh pasta only for tomato sauces?
No. It works with butter and cheese sauces, ragù and light fish sauces.
