To prepare this pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Carefully add the fresh pasta to the boiling water. Stir gently to prevent the pieces from sticking together. Cook the pasta for a short amount of time, usually just a few minutes, until it floats to the surface and is tender. Drain the pasta well. You can then toss it with your favorite sauce, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of cheese. It cooks very quickly because it is fresh.
