    A single 16oz (1lb) bag is enough for 4-5 people.

    I prepare 500g of this for 3 people, and that’s just the raw pasta, not including the cheese, garlic, oil etc.

    Get some containers and keep leftovers. Cooking more than you will eat in one sitting saves your future self some work.

    125 grams of dried pasta per person, as a main course usually works fine for me.

      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.

      This is terrible, I had one. I’d end up breaking a lot of spaghetti threading them into this.

      This one works better.

    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

        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.

    Can never make too much pasta. Better too much than too little. Can always throw the leftovers in the fridge and microwave it the day after or make a lunch box. Of course, if you are struggling with overeating, then idk. Make to little maybe.

    4 servings: 500 g 1 serving: 500 g 3 servings: 500 g

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

    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!
