    No matter how much pasta you make, you’re obligated to eat it in a single sitting.
    This is the way.

      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

      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…

        Ackchully Clostridium botulinum is an obligate anaerobe from soil and should never grow in conditions of old pasta. The oxygen alone would kill it.

        You’re thinking of bacillus cereus, which grows on cooked rice or pasta stored at room temperature.

    How to get the correct amount of pasta:

    1. Get as much as you think is right.
    2. Wrong.

    Start weighing your pasta. You’ll never cook too much again.

      Start weighing EVERYTHING. The consistency your dishes reach is crazy good! A weighing scale isn’t that expensive

      I mean yea but last time I made spaghetti all the recipes were like xx weight(cooked). WTF am I supposed to do with that?

      source
      • cattywampas@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        You’re supposed to disregard it. Just boil enough pasta for however many servings you want, a serving of dry pasta is 60g. Why are you using a recipe for spaghetti?

    S friend of mine did that with rice some years ago. Instead of cooking like one cup he filled the pot about halfway. Needless to say, that we got free rice that day.

    Anyone else have a weird thing where pasta does not make them feel full?

    I could probably eat 3 times as much pasta by weight as I could, let’s say, rice. And I would only have to stop because I physically feel that there is no more room in my stomach. It’s like my brain does not register pasta as food and so I don’t mentally feel full or get any less hungry.

    And it’s just with pasta! Not bread, not rice, not pizza, not lasagna, nada. It is very weird and I never heard of anyone with the same issue.

    Ps, because of this, I just cannot make too much pasta, no such thing.

    • pseudo@jlai.lu ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I’ve notice that for a few years now. I believe the quality has been worst and worst. I never buy the cheapest brands, I look for the thickest looking ones. I prefer egg pasta and stay far away for the 3-minutes ones.

        You might want to try whole grain pasta.

      Yeah only proteins make me feel full, unless there’s meat involved I generally don’t consider it a meal. Carbs and veggies do not make me full at all and I never crave them, they’re only there to give me variety and make me feel civilized while I consume meat. I never really crave sugar either.

      P.S. I’m not one of those “meat diet” whackjobs and I have nothing against vegetarians or vegans or animals but this has just been my experience entirely.

      source
      • MTK@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        That’s the weird thing. It’s not about the nutrient type because other types of carbs do make me feel full. It’s just specifically pasta. I don’t know why. I could easily eat a bowl of rice and feel full but I could eat three bowls of pasta and just know that I’m full but not feel it.

    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. 👍

    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?

      source
      • Leviathan@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        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.

    • wieson@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      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.

      source
      • Leviathan@lemmy.world ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        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.

    Hey Euros. Do you guys buy 250g pasta packages or 500g? We pretty much only sell 1 pound packages in the US which is a little less than 500g.

        It’s a spoon like contraption that is deep, has fingers, and a hole in the back. You use it to lift cooked spaghetti out of the pot.
