Admittedly its quite a lot of work to make pasta at home but we personally think that it's worth it.
As you said, there is no comparison, it's definitely worth to make the food at home. My wife cooks everything at home, almost half her day goes in that.
Yes it's a lot of work but it's often worth it. It taste better and generally it's healthier. You at least know what is going into it and you know that there are no strange chemicals and unknown preservatives lol
