- Eat it all anyway because pasta is delicious.
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.
Pro tip: weigh your pasta and you'll never make too much again.
Is 5 pounds enough?
You'll find out! And the beauty of weight is it never changes so when you figure out that it's somewhere north of 100g you'll never make too much again.
I learned that as a child from my mum, so it seemed basic knowledge to me. But I guess, Americans don't use scales that much.
Most recipes say 100g per serving (1/5 pound) but it's best to know your individual needs.
Exactly right, and weighing isn't volume dependant, so you can weigh macaroni and spaghetti with the same tool and always get the same mass of pasta. It's just the superior measurement for kitchens.
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. 👍
left over spaghetti
?????!
But yeah, there's that whole thing with blood sugar and leftover pasta, I dunno, I'm not a scientist and I have a bad memory, but it's basically healthier on day two.
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!
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.
I always weigh my pasta. A really large serving of pasta is ~4oz.
Italian here. That's not a bug; that's a feature.
So a half batch
I usually do that with butter beans.
The sequel to this meme would be the wizard sitting the other way
"And I ate it all in one serving"
Never happened to me
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

Oh well, guess I'm eating pasta this month. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You're gonna show up in a youtube video.
A 30 year old presented to the E.R. with a bloated stomach and high fever. He claims to have eaten the same pasta for 30 days. As we know, botulism starts to grow on noodles after three days, which means....
You're thinking of bacillus cereus, which grows on cooked rice or pasta stored at room temperature.
Ackchully Clostridium botulinum is an obligate anaerobe from soil and should never grow in conditions of old pasta. The oxygen alone would kill it.
