One pack is the correct size. Alone? One pack. Two people? One pack. Four? One pack. Above that? Two pack.
Easy.
70 grams per serving. There.
Measure by mass. Actually, that’s the solution to many cooking problems.
Do I need the mass of the chef only or the mass of every guest combined?
I’m onto you, Higgs
I plan on 4 oz of dry pasta per person. When I buy pasta in bulk boxes I store in 8 oz portions in mason jars. This keeps the moths out and means when I’m cooking for two I just need to grab a jar instead of weighing it out during the cook.
We’ve got a lot of different sized containers that seal. I specifically got a long one for spaghetti (and a pan I can cook it in without bending or breaking the spaghetti, I’m not picky AT ALL). We basically have a 30 gallon bucket of containers of different pastas on the floor or the pantry. Fuck, now I want to eat linguine in lemon butter sauce. And I have a ton of lemons.
I’m told the amount of dry spaghetti that fits through this hole is one portion.
I’ve never tried, first my wife and I had kids that ate like they’ve never been fed before. And now that we’re empty nesters we do meal prep so I still cook the whole batch.
for me, it’s either half a regular-size box, or a whole box. there is no other way.
One portion is officially 2 oz. But if pasta is your main course you are going to want 4 oz.
I’ve found ~85g of noodles per adult person to be sufficient.
Read that as kilograms at first and just nodded like “Yup, that would INDEED be sufficient.”
No! More pasta!
And that CIA logo probably shouldn’t be on there
the boxes here say 56g per serving, 8 per us pound. but your estimation is what i end up with when i’m prepping… 5 containers with sauce per box (pound).
Make as much as you want to eat?
