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…
roguetrick@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Ackchully Clostridium botulinum is an obligate anaerobe from soil and should never grow in conditions of old pasta. The oxygen alone would kill it.
exasperation@lemm.ee 2 months ago
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:
- Get as much as you think is right.
- Wrong.
Slovene@feddit.nl 2 months ago
- Eat it all anyway because pasta is delicious.

Start weighing your pasta. You’ll never cook too much again.
UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Start weighing EVERYTHING. The consistency your dishes reach is crazy good! A weighing scale isn’t that expensive

Do people not use kitchen weights? It’s a very common thing where I live (in Europe)
lightnsfw@reddthat.com 2 months ago
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?
cattywampas@lemm.ee 2 months 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?
cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 2 months ago
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.

Ah see it wasn’t bread that jesus handed out on the mound it was a small batch of pasta
jaybone@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Did pasta exist in Jesus’ time? I don’t think they mention it much in the Bible.
Lemmist@lemm.ee 2 months ago
That’s ok – you just don’t need to cook for a nearest year or so if your family is of size of 2.

How do I make my family of size 2?

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 2 months 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.
cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 2 months ago
You might want to try whole grain pasta.
LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
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.
MTK@lemmy.world 2 months 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.
oyo@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Yes, I can eat a seemingly infinite amount of pasta. Just pasta.
MTK@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I feel less alone now
slackassassin@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I have the opposite issue. Pasta makes me feel bloated.
Siegfried@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Spaghetti? Do this 👌. A portion is more or less what fits between the thumb and the index. Anything else is excess.
Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The last thing I want is to make spaghetti and still be hungry after I eat it. Whole box it is.
cdnwaffleiron@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Because honestly left over spaghetti is almost better than fresh. 👍
RobotFK@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Side note: Only works with average size hands, I can fit more than a pound of dry spaghetti between thumb and index

I always weigh my pasta. A really large serving of pasta is ~4oz.
arotrios@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
pyre@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 months ago
So a half batch
Leviathan@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Pro tip: weigh your pasta and you’ll never make too much again.
DrSteveBrule@mander.xyz 2 months ago
Is 5 pounds enough?
Leviathan@lemmy.world 1 month 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 2 months 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.
Leviathan@lemmy.world 1 month 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.
Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I usually do that with butter beans.

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.
GandalftheBlack@feddit.org 2 months ago
500g usually
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You don’t have to cook the entire box.
roguetrick@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yes you do, @SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world.
TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 months ago
They sell half pound boxes now.

The hole on the back of the spaghetti lifter tool is perfect for measuring a single serving.
Dasus@lemmy.world 2 months ago
wtf is a “spaghetti lifter”?
bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.

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
