pasta rule : 196

Or you could use the hole in your spoon, which is approximately one serving...

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago

Nah - That requires me to own a stigmata spoon and I don't bring religion to my cooking.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

If you're out buying stuff you can buy one with different serving sizes for each hole. Seems handy for that one time, after that you already have an idea of how much 'getti you need.

Or well, OP doesn't but still

Kitchen scale helps. I do around 75g per person

[–] hinterlufer@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Huh... I typically do 125-175g per person for a main depending on how hungry I am

[–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

thats actually super dangerous because there is a high chance you will eat too much spaghetti and get sleepy, leading you to go to bed on time

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

Man... I wish.

[–] LwL@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Tfw i always make 250g for myself

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 months ago

I mean, it totally depends on the dish... Spaghetti aglio e olio is 90% pasta. Spaghetti Bolognese is most like 60% pasta.

[–] llamacoffee@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The De Cecco box always recommends 56g, and I never feel like I need any more!

[–] Chiarottide@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I hope you guys have something else as a second course because my family and I have always eaten 120g or more. I'm underweight and don't do sports

[–] Schmuppes@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Really depends whether the pasta is the main attraction or just a side. 120 g is not a whole lot calorie-wise, I think it would be under 500 kcal for the noodles alone.

[–] anothercatgirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

I usually have 55g of spaghetti for dinner, the rest ends up being beans and cheese.

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

A pound of dry pasta feeds 4

[–] KickMeElmo@sopuli.xyz 19 points 10 months ago

Or just one, depending on how hungry you are.

[–] uphillbothways@kbin.social 8 points 10 months ago

Average forefinger and thumb grasps about 1-1.5 servings of spaghetti. Pasta in general, any shape, 1 pound serves 4-6.

if i make pasta im intending to eat it over 3-4 meals or two if im depressed

thats how living alone works

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Butter and noodles is a banger

[–] Strykker@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Man I must have been doing something wrong. I hated reheated spaghetti, texture and flavour were never quite right after freezing it.

I'll make a pot of sauce that lasts like 3 months but cook just enough pasta for one meal.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 4 points 10 months ago

I make like two gallons of sauce.... freeze half and have leftovers for a few days on the other half.

[–] nifty@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Simple, half box if you want it to last four days and quarter box if you want it to last two days. Really depends on the size of your servings tho

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

then you dont have to cook for a couple days so no problem

[–] ZeroXHunter@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

If you are making your own pasta, take ONE whole egg and add the flour little by little until you make the dough.
