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.

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

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 36 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Oh well, guess I'm eating pasta this month. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] dodgy_bagel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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 6 points 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.

How to get the correct amount of pasta:

  1. Get as much as you think is right.
  2. Wrong.
[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 7 points 2 months ago
  1. Eat it all anyway because pasta is delicious.
[–] cattywampas@lemm.ee 26 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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

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.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah see it wasn't bread that jesus handed out on the mound it was a small batch of pasta

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 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

You might want to try whole grain pasta.

Spaghetti? Do this 👌. A portion is more or less what fits between the thumb and the index. Anything else is excess.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The last thing I want is to make spaghetti and still be hungry after I eat it. Whole box it is.

Side note: Only works with average size hands, I can fit more than a pound of dry spaghetti between thumb and index

[–] lengau@midwest.social 5 points 2 months ago

Finally I've found someone whose hands match my stomach!

[–] pachrist@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I always weigh my pasta. A really large serving of pasta is ~4oz.

[–] arotrios@lemmy.world 6 points 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.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

So a half batch

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 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.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 points 2 months ago

No problem. Means I'll get fried noodles tomorrow.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I usually do that with butter beans.

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Pro tip: weigh your pasta and you'll never make too much again.
