Instead of measuring out your pasta, have you considered switching to Linux?
What’s Linux?
What he meant was GNU/Spaghetti
Jokes aside, it’s an operating system alternative to Windows. The Steam Deck gaming handheld runs Linux. It’s a free and open software.
between 70-500g per person. Hope it helps.
So between a light snack and “I want people to think I’m pregnant.”
70-120g more normally, of dried pasta. that’s not a light snack, perhaps not a huge plate, but it’s sufficient if you also have something on the side.
Fresh pasta is different obviously.
1g per 1kg of your weight. So for someone who weighs 100kg you use 100g of pasta.
hold on i’m doing weed maths
alexa how much do i weigh
no in kilograms
dammit math is hard when you’re high
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 feel like a fatass because I never need to measure spaghetti. One box is two servings.
Get some containers and keep leftovers. Cooking more than you will eat in one sitting saves your future self some work.
4 servings: 500 g
1 serving: 500 g
3 servings: 500 gI always cook the whole package. I can eat leftovers later or make some new dish out of it the next day.
with 500g you can eat leftovers for 3-4 days if you live alone
Family of 5. We make 500 g, no leftovers.
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
You see that hole? That’s enough for 1 serving.
back scratcher?
Desperation breeds innovation I guess.
It’s a holy back scratcher ;)
Srsly? You have changed my life!!!
Holy shit
Holey*

Looks over at my teens
Yeah, sure. For me maybe.
If I cook a box I’ll still have about a couple cups left over. If I cook half a box they’ll all be bitching that they’re still hungry in 15 minutes, and they’ll consume another entire box.
I cook it restaurant style I don’t even stop the water from boiling.
Honestly, it’s one of the reasons I don’t cook that much spaghetti the chunkier pasta shaped work better as leftovers.
I have 4 teenagers. I cook 2 boxes every time. There are no leftovers.

Same until I realized spaghetti works great for pasta salad.
Then you figure out how many servings you need to make for everyone. The hole is an approximation and you need to figure out how many servings are needed for your family’s satiation needs.
Telling you it varies. If I make one serving per, they’ll end up eating three per. If I make three per, they’ll end up eating one.
YO WHAT? How have I never known this til now?
I still just go for 100g/person. Altough the hole trick is nice if your out and about and done have a scale
If you are out and have your travel spaghetti scooper with you
It’s also an emergency hairbrush. Slam it in a drawer with the head sticking out and boom, overnight jewelry holder. Or hold it up in front of your face and you can watch people without them knowing. It’s the all-accessory!
Who doesn’t make travel spaghetti with their portable pot of boiling water?
They do make portable mini stoves tho
Instructions unclear, my spaghetto is stuck in the spoon hole…
I never make less than a whole box
A single 16oz (1lb) bag is enough for 4-5 people.
Not sure why you used imperial twice but that’s around 450g
Because cooking is an art, not a science, so I use my heart not my brain. 😌
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.
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!
Don’t blame us! You’re the one talking dirty!
Not that hole, I see you coming.
How’s your eye a hole? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
250g per person.
