Fear not the mass of noodles, nor thine anxiety over the mountains of starch thy must consume, my son.
Tomorrow it will all be pasta tense.
No matter how much pasta you make, you’re obligated to eat it in a single sitting.
This is the way.
This is the way I die.I have a couple pastas that make good leftovers, but if I’m not planning on them I’ll gorge myself on the entire four person meal of pasta
Not like this…slurp…not like this…
Anyone else have a weird thing where pasta does not make them feel full?
I could probably eat 3 times as much pasta by weight as I could, let’s say, rice. And I would only have to stop because I physically feel that there is no more room in my stomach. It’s like my brain does not register pasta as food and so I don’t mentally feel full or get any less hungry.
And it’s just with pasta! Not bread, not rice, not pizza, not lasagna, nada. It is very weird and I never heard of anyone with the same issue.
Ps, because of this, I just cannot make too much pasta, no such thing.
Yes, I can eat a seemingly infinite amount of pasta. Just pasta.
Yeah only proteins make me feel full, unless there’s meat involved I generally don’t consider it a meal. Carbs and veggies do not make me full at all and I never crave them, they’re only there to give me variety and make me feel civilized while I consume meat. I never really crave sugar either.
P.S. I’m not one of those “meat diet” whackjobs and I have nothing against vegetarians or vegans or animals but this has just been my experience entirely.
That’s the weird thing. It’s not about the nutrient type because other types of carbs do make me feel full. It’s just specifically pasta. I don’t know why. I could easily eat a bowl of rice and feel full but I could eat three bowls of pasta and just know that I’m full but not feel it.
I’ve got a second stomach for ice cream, maybe yours is for pasta
But it’s not that I love pasta in a special way, it’s okay-ish
I’ve notice that for a few years now. I believe the quality has been worst and worst. I never buy the cheapest brands, I look for the thickest looking ones. I prefer egg pasta and stay far away for the 3-minutes ones.
You might want to try whole grain pasta.
I tried and saw a small difference but the big change was only taste.
That’s weird.
No problem. Means I’ll get fried noodles tomorrow.

The hole on the back of the spaghetti lifter tool is perfect for measuring a single serving.
wtf is a “spaghetti lifter”?
It’s a spoon like contraption that is deep, has fingers, and a hole in the back. You use it to lift cooked spaghetti out of the pot.
Looks like this https://www.katom.com/165-10087.html?srsltid=AfmBOoq70hs32JV0FJhNOm5KTWA2SnuFmN9irqlWRJESU_f0maUW7IAbSFY&gQT=1
Oh I just call that the spaghetti ladle.
Pretty sure mine doesn’t have a hole that measures spaghetti.
When I was looking for a photo, I noticed that most have the slots now instead of the round hole that measures a serving of dry spaghetti. And the ones with round holes were mostly plastic. Mine is metal and may be Oxo brand.
I was gonna say I’ve no idea of my brand but ofc I do, it’s IKEA
Make sure to clean before and after use.
A spaghetti lifter is kind of a spoon with fingers so you’re almost right.
How can you have too much pasta?
Italian here. That’s not a bug; that’s a feature.
The sequel to this meme would be the wizard sitting the other way
“And I ate it all in one serving”
S friend of mine did that with rice some years ago. Instead of cooking like one cup he filled the pot about halfway. Needless to say, that we got free rice that day.
Spaghetti? Do this 👌. A portion is more or less what fits between the thumb and the index. Anything else is excess.
The last thing I want is to make spaghetti and still be hungry after I eat it. Whole box it is.
Because honestly left over spaghetti is almost better than fresh. 👍
Side note: Only works with average size hands, I can fit more than a pound of dry spaghetti between thumb and index
Finally I’ve found someone whose hands match my stomach!
good thing is I can eat pasta 3x as much as I can eat any other food. so to me it’s only 200 servings.
