Indeed, but shop-bought is simply not the same animal - not even close! Mum used to make it all the time, and her home-made fresh pasta was legendary!
We rarely have time to make it (perhaps on a special occasion, such as Christmas), so usually stick to having high-quality dried pasta (De Cecco is amongst the best available: http://www.dececco.it/gb_en/ ), with home-made sauces
