Commercially made pasta probably already contains tons of salt.

That's ingredient, not ingredients.
That's not the totality of ingredients. Unless, of course, you've just
bought a bag of flour.

That's what my bag of pasta says.

And under nutritional information, both sodium and salt equivalent are listed as 'trace'

That's for dried pasta.

For fresh pasta, Tesco's website says

Durum Wheat Semolina,'00'Wheat Flour ,Egg (15%) ,Water

and gives salt as 'trace' per 100g and 0.1g per 175g cooked.

The ready-filled stuff eg cheese tortelloni, has 0.8g salt equivalent per 100g, and 2g or 33% RDA per serving
