    Instead of measuring out your pasta, have you considered switching to 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.

    1g per 1kg of your weight. So for someone who weighs 100kg you use 100g of pasta.

        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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

      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.

        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.

          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!
