Egg-based pasta dough is created by mixing eggs with flour and other ingredients to create a paste-like consistency. It has a denser, richer texture than regular pasta and is usually higher in protein thanks to the eggs. It is often recommended for people who have allergies to wheat products and need a gluten-free alternative to regular pasta.
