Sauteed fresh pasta? I'm making fresh pasta and I'd like to put garlic in it. The problem is that garlic needs to be sauteed to taste good right? Since it doesn't take long to cook fresh pasta, will it work to just saute the pasta instead of boiling it?
Fresh as in not dried? Yes, that will work. Just watch your heat, ensure it doesn't stick to the pan.

Personally I would lightly sautee the garlic in a lot of olive oil (making the olive oil the eventual sauce), then toss in the pasta for just long enough to heat it through, and then nomnomnom.
