In a word, yes.  Oh yes.  Yes indeed.  Actually, it depends somewhat on what you
call fresh pasta.  Fresh pasta in the plastic seal box at the grocery store
tastes better than dried, and is softer.  Fresh "I made it at home pasta" is much
tastier and much, much softer.  Almost 'melt in your mouth' softer.  (At least
mine is.)  The taste and mouthfeel difference isn't high enough that I typically
use fresh, but it is worth the time or money to occasionally indulge.  Hmmm...  I
feel an urge for spaghetti for dinner coming on.
