When I was young I’d cook the whole 16 oz package and make way too much…
I’ve since learned that because the pasta absorbs a lot of water, a few oz of dry pasta actually makes way more than it looks like it will. For me, 5.33 oz of dry pasta (third of the bag) works perfect. You can do less though if you don’t need that much.
Last time I made spaghetti I googled how much to use and almost all the answers I found were talking about the weight after it was cooked. Why would anyone be asking that question if they knew how to tell how much it was after it cooked?
Lol i think i’ve seen those recipes. Probably written by the same people that say a recipe will take “10 mins of prep work”, but really it’s like 45 mins, and they recommend cutting veggies while something is already started cooking for… not that much time really, so you have to RUSH, and it’s just awful.
