Being Italian I love pasta. Have you have real homemade pasta? 
I have had fresh pasta produced by hand when I lived in Italy, but have not in years
Make it your self. Tonight I had homemade pasta with rabbit sausage. Tomorrow it's rabbit Lasagna.
Wow I have heard of making it by hand with flour and water and eggs but thought it was extremely hard
Not really. If you don't mind thicker noodles you can make it easily on a counter top. Takes about 20 minutes, 
I imagine is fresh pasta is much better than dried pasta.  How do you make it?
All it is, is egg's salt, flour and water. If you can cook toast you can make pasta. 
Is it hard to make the pasta into various shapes?
