They're completely different beasts. Not entirely interchangeable. There's no reason not to employ the use of both depending on the situation.

>>14147115
I do. But there's no reason to make the dry non-egg type at home. It requires specialized machinery and won't give better result.

Imma be honest chief I don't have time and I don't care enough to make my own pasta outside special occasions

>>14147115
It's a hassle though. I have made pasta, it's not difficult, but it is extra time spent that I just don't feel like is entirely worth it.

agree

Store bought tastes better

Get your own wheat field and make your own flour. The Store bought is nasty and doesn't taste nearly as good.

>Store bought is nasty and doesn’t taste nearly as good.
I agree, this is why Jeffry Epstein had a creepy private chef, whom Joe Rogan invited on his show and didn't ask about Epstein

>>14147115
Made ravioli for the first time earlier. The filling was a bit too salty and should've cooked them a minute or two longer but they didn't explode and were tasty. Took a lot of work though so will probably stick to making stuff like the linguine I did the other day. Wasted a bit of the raw linguine in the fridge since it started looking greenish gray after a couple days. Smelled fine but but not really trying to get food poisoning right now, especially for something that cost me cents to make. Very rewarding being more involved in my food. I feel like people need to get back to cooking more.

This tbqhf. Also I don't personally find fresh pasta to be that much better to be worth the hassle of making it. All the pasta dishes I make I prefer al dente.

ohh
I see what you did there

>>14147644
You little bitch. Watch who you callin faggot, manlet

You're probably not even making pasta, Anon. Pasta is not plain flour + egg. Pasta is semolina + water or semolina + egg. Are you using semolina?

>>14147151
See? I knew you didn't. And there absolutely are reasons to make non-egg pasta (that's like saying 'non-egg beef,' really; pasta doesn't have egg unless you specify that it's egg pasta): making your own shapes, making your own textures, stuffing them with your own fillings, enrobing your enemies in pasta, making pasta pottery, as a pastafarian sacrament, to invite Doc Brown over for a Back to the Pasta marathon and (perhaps the most likely reason of all) to finish your forensic pastalogy degree.

>Pasta is not plain flour + egg. Pasta is semolina + water or semolina + egg. Are you using semolina?
There are two types of pasta:

>flour + egg
>semolina + egg
>semolina. + water

>>14152181
I'd defer to the Italians on this one, since 'pasta' is an Italian word and the Italian definition has semolina, always. Otherwise, it's a noodle.

>>14153307
"Pasta" simply means "dough" in Italian.

Noodle is an American word.

There are types of pasta:

>Pasta al uovo
>Pasta di semola

>>14153354
Wrong. Wrong. And wrong.
Impasto means dough.
Noodle is an English word.
Egg pasta still has semolina in it.

>>14153396
>Impasto means dough.
what are synonyms?

>>14153403
Pasta means pasta. Impasto means dough. They are not synonyms.

>>14153414
I literally showed you a picture of a bread recipe where they talk about 'pasta'.

You must be trolling me.

>>14153439
See >>14153414

>>14153439
Brosephine, that picture doesn't have the word 'pasta' in it a single time.

In Italian, the meaning of pasta extends beyond just the dish. It can also be used to refer to any kind of generic dough or paste. Even the verb to knead (impastare) contains the word pasta.

>>14153450
>L'impasto base della PASTA per il pane veloce, semplice e alla portata di tutti.

>>14153492
Lies.

We can divide pasta in three main ways
fresh vs dry
egg vs water
00 flour vs semolina

Honestly, even in Italy lots of people make homemade pasta with just 00 flour (which is very very finely grinded) and eggs, I don't like it very much, so my suggestion would be:
300 grams 00 flour
200 grams semolina
some salt
6 eggs (depends on the size, the dough should have around 45-55% hydration, you can go lower hydro if you are skilled enough, it will make a firmer pasta).

Also, remember not to work the dough too much, if you make spaghetti you want them to be not too elastic (it's not chinese noodle), but still able to keep their form.

>>14147115
Good bronze cut dry pasta is as good as any pasta in the world. Nothing wrong with fresh, but if Barilla is your idea of store bought then you're buying the wrong stuff at the store, or shopping at the wrong stores..

Pasta is italian. Noodles are asian.

Homemade noodles are nice but you can find quality dry stuff if you look.

Seems like this thread is more focused on Italian stuff but I did homemade udon noodles a few weeks back. It takes a long time but most of it is just resting the dough.

>>14147115
>blocks your path

How do I cut spaghetti with a knife

>>14154753
noodles != pasta, faglord
that's why it's about italian stuff, you absolute queer

>>14154847

I specifically referred to that in my post, friend. You're trying far too hard to be a pedant.

My point was essentially that the same reasons for homemade pasta being good apply to homemade noodles, but that both high quality dry noodles and pasta can be found in a store setting.

>>14154869
>point was essentially
the only point you have is at the top of your skull, pinhead
it doesn't "seem like this is more focused on Italian stuff." it is focused on italian stuff. because noodles != pasta
you're the same kind of asscunt who'd answer "chicken breast fillet on brioche!!" when someone asks you how you like your burger. just as chicken breast fillet on brioche != burger, noodles != pasta
so stfu, gtfo and gdiaf, you butt-bandit retard

have a nice day ^_~
