This is wild. I even thought lasagna was worth the minimal effort before, but I just got KitchenAid attachments for Christmas and it's insanely easy. You mix the dough in the bowl, and then flatten a couple times, run through the slicer, put in the water and it boils way faster than dried. It's also so so much better than dried.
I'm with you on like, ravioli though. Also we occasionally made wide rice noodles from scratch for Thai cooking and while they're not technically hard, they're very labor intensive and time consuming. The problem is the difference between them and dried is night and say - dried wide rice noodles arent even really worth eating. Finally found a shop that sells them fresh though so we are golden.
Fresh pasta cannot be al dente, it's useless for most traditional Italian pasta dishes. And it is near impossible to make dry pasta at home.
