    Well, any freshly made foodstuff is of course preferable, generally speaking. But whereas Italian housewives used to make fresh pasta every time it was on the home menu, nowadays it would be impractical due to the hectic workaholic lifestyle to be seen everywhere nowadays...:o

    Oh don't Young Italian women like cooking now? I don't want an Italian wife then!

    They do, phil, but Italian food is sooo much more than pasta or pizza! It never ceases to amaze me how 90% of Italian cuisine is unknown abroad.

    Besides, it's the sauce that goes with the pasta that really makes the dish.

    That is true. The only way you really know is to visit.
