spaghetti, penne and tagliatelle cover every single possible use case.
any other kind of pasta is a straight downgrade

How feasible is it to make your own pasta dough and to just make orechiette or tagliatelle on a regular basis? Is it cost effective including the time it takes? Does the reduced cooking time help?
Is it it better than dry pasta? Is the middleway to buy fresh pasta in the store and how do I know that is good quality?

I mill my own flours, including potato flour for gnochi, and make all pastas from scratch. All sourced from true organic farms (mostly Amish).
Once you get in rhythym, it's not apprciably more trouble.
t. 20 years of this not including extruded pastas, which is about 7 years

You know what I'm saying it. I don't like al dente pasta. I boil my spaghetti for 20 minutes.

It's honestly so easy anon, this is a fine base: https://tastesbetterfromscratch.com/italian-pasta-salad/
Adjust to your liking. I fucking hate olives and do not include them.
Other come meat salads can be good though, I used to leave a pyrex full of tuna, chicken, or egg salad in the work fridge and a loaf bread in the cabinet to just make the sandwiches at work.

can i ask for some tips on marinara sauce? if im making a ragu or something (i.e. meat sauce) then it tastes perfect as cooking it with the meat mellows it out
if i try to do marinara sauce in the same way on its own then it has a very intense tomato flavor, it seems over the top and doesnt taste great, not sure about ways to make it nicer

also, are you making the sauce scratch? are you using whole tomatoes? you should remove the skins from tomatoes when making sauce. they can taste far too tomatoey and at the same time resist breaking down completely, which complicates most sauce presentations. There are a couple tomato sauce styles that specifically incorporate tomatoes with their skins, but they're usually cherry tomatoes, and not as powerful and acidic as a result.

Passata is basically already perfectly balanced sauce for pizza. If you're using it for pasta and don't like it, maybe you're used to nontraditional tomato sauces which is completely fine. Things to add are kinda limited though, culturally there are some variations, but you can try:
evaporated milk,
sweetened condensed milk
herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
olive oil
sugar (already mentioned in earlier post)
otherwise, simmering with meat and letting the flavor change over time is a good option if you don't mind blasting away the fresh tomato flavor altogether (a long simmered tomato sauce wont have any fresh tasting tomato flavor by the end of it, so what you could do is reserve like 1/4 of the sauce, cook down 3/4s of it for a day, and then add back the 1/4 'raw' sauce at the end to balance the flavor)
