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.Not like this…slurp…not like this…
Fun fact, Switch was supposed to be two different genders in the matrix and in the real world.
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…
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:
- Get as much as you think is right.
- Wrong.
- Eat it all anyway because pasta is delicious.
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
Do people not use kitchen weights? It’s a very common thing where I live (in Europe)
Hell, I often just use a kitchen weight to measure volume of water instead of using a measuring cup, as 1 liter of water ~= 1 kilogram
americans have to deal with insane units like pints and ounces
I’m a scientist, metric is practically my 2nd language.

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
Did pasta exist in Jesus’ time? I don’t think they mention it much in the Bible.

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.
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.
I tried and saw a small difference but the big change was only taste.
That’s weird.
I eat my fair share of fiber already. Adding more of them doesn’t help me much to feel full if my carbs are still of bad quality.
Yes, I can eat a seemingly infinite amount of pasta. Just pasta.
I feel less alone now
I have the opposite issue. Pasta makes me feel bloated.

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!
I always weigh my pasta. A really large serving of pasta is ~4oz.
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.
So a half batch
No problem. Means I’ll get fried noodles tomorrow.
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.
