It tastes different if only because homemade pasta includes eggs. Industrial pasta can get away with not using eggs because machines can exert a lot more pressure than your hand and extrude it cleanly.

Industrial egg-pasta is available, though.

This is not the difference.

You can buy industrial pasta with or without eggs and you can totally do homemade pasta with only flour and water. I've done it plenty of times.

I need to try it. I assumed it wasn‘t possible because no recipe I have in my books ever did pasta dough without eggs.

Thank you! TIL.
