I can assure you, there is no such thing called “enough pasta”.
Just don’t sauce the extra portion, and then eat it cold at 3am like a goblin. 😆
I always use my kitchen scale and make 80 grams portions of pasta
125g per person is where I sit. Also gives for a chance of a bit of fridge leftovers.
Same. After a while you also get the hang of it a d don’t need a scale anymore
I get antsy and always go back to recheck, or I check by weighing what’s left in the bag. I think I have a kitchen scale addiction. I am currently away from home and I brought my kitty, but now I can’t weigh her food like I normally do and it is causing me some very mild mental anguish.
Grab however much pasta you want to eat, then cut it in half. It will approximately double after being cooked.
For a hot moment there, I thought, you meant cutting it with a knife/scissors.
That would technically work too I guess
When making long noodles. Make a circle with your thumb and index. Bring your index all the way to the base of your thumb. Somewhere in there is the amount you will eat (of dry noodles that fit). Find it, and never make the wrong amount again.
I just tried this and I’m still hungry.
Oh wait. Is penne not a “long noodle”?
I can relate! I’ve learned to measure my pasta by weight. I know how much my household cares to eat, and I cook that amount or a bit more for leftovers.
I do the same. To add, 1 portion is about 120-150g depending how much you like to eat. And for those who asks how to weight spaghettis, put 1 glass on balance, do the tare and put your pasta.

Yup, that’s the trick!
“Still not enough!”
No worries! Just means you’ll have leftovers for a few days.
I’ll have leftovers for as long as they stay out of my mouth, thank you.
Leftovers?
I feel personally attacked. Every damn time lol.
Always too much or too little.
If he eats to much he’ll croak 🐸🍝
Cook all, cook once, food for three meals.
A bit out of left field but wanted to share one of the best standup comedy premises with a pasta joke at the end. Mekki Leeper talking about how he stalks his ex on her food blog because it’s the only social media platform she forgot to block him from
