The pasta may be frozen for up to 2 weeks. Cooking. Cook fresh pasta noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water. (Use about 6 quarts of water for 1 pound of pasta.)

Fill the big saucepan 2/3 full with boiling, salted water. The pasta and the potatoes should take about the same amount of time to cook, about 12 minutes.

Stir occasionally so the pasta does not stick.
