    I always cook the whole package. I can eat leftovers later or make some new dish out of it the next day.

    1 person: what fits in the hole when you place your index finger against the first joint in your thumb. 2 person, second joint. three person thumb tip. Smaller rations, loose fit, larger rations tighter fit. Try a few times to adjust for your hand size. It’s just a step above eyeballing, but shockingly effective.

    Edit: Not that hole, I see you coming. And not coming that way. Jeez, the infantilism!

    I feel like a fatass because I never need to measure spaghetti. One box is two servings.

      I assume that’s basically plain pasta? Or are we talking American portions?

      Because in most of the world it’s 70-90g. If you’re going with heavy dishes it’s sometimes down into 50-60g.

        Not American portions, but for a dish that is centered around pasta. Usually with a light tomatoe sauce, aglio e olio or something like that. And I like to have a second helping, so that’s included.

        If you’re going for a casserolle or something else with lots of Cheese, a thick and creamy sauce, or relevant amounts of meat and/or vegetables to go with it, you’ll need less than that.

          I like to eat a small bowl with sauce, then make a truly deranged second small bowl – butter, olive oil, that trash-ass Parmesan or whatever blend is kicking around in the fridge, adobo, black pepper, chili flakes

    Cook it all. Save what you don’t eat in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Cooked noodles are so useful. Fry them with chili paste, yum yum! Make peanut sauce and eat them cold. Even just tossed with sesame oil and salt they are pretty good.

      Be careful with this.

      Turned pasta is really dangerous and hard to notice as it doesn’t have an awful smell or look like other foods when bacteria settles.

        It goes straight into the fridge, been doing this for over 30 years with no problem. I don’t save half eaten pasta, just split it after it’s cooked.

      This. Also toss it evenly with some olive oil before you put it in the fridge. Will delay the concrete phase by a lot

    If you are a guy then its an easy measurement. Make an o with your finger and thumb the girth of your erect dick. That’s your dick width of pasta serving. No more. No less!

      Bro, I can’t grab a broom stick without comparing its girth it to my dick. Now pasta too? Smdh

    I keep seeing variations of this theme. My mom always does the opposite. Like 12 people are coming over for thanksgiving or Christmas and she makes one little bag of noodles.

    125g per person if you only eat that, 80 to 100 if you eat something else too

    Good brands you can usually find outside of italy with not outrageous prices are Rummo and Garofalo, less good but still okay, and at a generally lower price, you can usually find Voiello or De Cecco

    Barilla is the most common, but outside of their spaghetti I’m not a big fan

    There are a bunch of others, but these tend to be easier to find

    That’s all, thank you for coming to my TED talk
