You buy dry pasta , a buck a box , and you have to, boil water( time and money spent)
I've always, when I buy a box of any pasta, open the box immediately and dump it into a bowl of cold water in my fridge, because, as long as it's there, 3 quarters of the prep is done,, it's hydrated now. All I have to do, is heat it. Which, takes about 2 mins, in a pan with whatever I'm cooking.
Or, you can pay 3 bucks for 8oz, of " fresh" pasta
