Regular pasta in Finland does not contain egg. So you will find it in just about EVERY supermarket. Look at the ingredients: durum wheat is usually the ONLY ingredient.

(I avoid the pasta which contains regular wheat flour as it is too mushy eg: the macaroni pasta)

Usually the price is a good indicator too.

Pirkka (K markets) and Rainbow (S markets) both do regular pasta.

I think that not only in Finland, regular pasta does not contains eggs :)
It's a special type of pasta and you see it already from its price.
The only formats of pasta that may contain eggs they are ribbon-shaped types like fettuccine
and stuffed pasta like tortellini and ravioli.
