Guideline amount [pasta-centric]
How much pasta do you eat in one serving? Because the packets always suggest 100g per person, but a 500g bag never lasts more than 4 meals.
The whole system is just complete bollocks.

200g
Literally nobody on the entire planet has ever once in their life cooked the exact right amount of pasta for one serving
Nobody, not me, not you, not Gino D'Acampo, nobody.
rice, too
I got one of those aperture-type spaghetti measurers.
Only used it to measure my willy so far.
Assuming I don't bring any small children round for dinner
I'm guessing the other sizes are perfectly clean and usable?
my boyfriend won't let me measure his willy
he's bang out of order, right?
it's about 500g of spaghetti
usually 1 500g bag = 4 portions
so 125g
Thanks Carol
spaghetti = pound coin size per person
rice = 1 mug per two servings
im going to follow this, it sounds spot on
No it doesn't.
Spaghetti should be a 50p coin size per person. Don't know where he got this pound coin bollocks from.
£2 coin at least
depends on how hungry I am
100g (dry weight)
Or 90g if I'm trying to be good, or up to 120g if I'm really hungry.
mentally specific
you're mental
I have to weigh it out
because if I had as much as I could eat, I'd be having about 200g which is far more than necessary.
depends on the pasta
cheers
I usually get through a standard 500g bag in 3-4 meals
I just free pour it into boiling water. My problem with pasta is I'll just eat what's there..regardless of whether I have 100 or 200 grams, I'll just gobble it all up.
i can never get it right.
same for rice. in fact rice is worse.
get an espresso cup
nou
well i've already got some, so i don't really need to
60g dry weight is about right for rice
Maybe up to 80g if you're particularly hungry.
depends on the person.
and the dish.
Rice = shit carbs for dickheads
oh god i just said carbs
kill me
better get eating some rice
I always do more rice just incase
Ta.
MUG.
Seriously, fill a standard sized mug with pasta and that's enough for one adult. That's how I've always measured it.
Doesn't work with spaghetti mind, haven't worked out how much to use for that. My housemate reckons you make an 'o' with your thumb and forefinger and it's however much spaghetti you can put in there.
Unless he has tiny hands, or is cooking for four people, that's far too much
(The thumb and finger thing, not the mug.)
To be fair, he's a machine
oodles of o's
one handful, and a pinch extra for good luck
cheers
i always through in a few extra
yes
yes you do
i'll tell you what it definitely isn't...
one handful.
it's never, ever, that.
i tend to roughly put in 2.5 handfuls per person, because it doesn't swell in size all that much, really.
if there's any left, just eat it later. not rocket science, virgins.
stop thinking about my penis.
we're on about pasta.
his a-penis is a-pasta joke-a
The whole
if it is too much, have the rest the next day. But what about the ratio with the sauce. Too much pasta, too little sauce. You lot are fucking savages.
you'll be overjoyed, i'm sure, to hear that i've just polished off a pasta salad
made using pasta from last night. still have some in the fridge, too, as it happens.
Roughly three handfulls
loads
Always use like most of a whole bag for 2 of us
and then we have the leftovers for lunch the next day.
The most innuendo-centric thread I've read in a while.
So many jokes, so little time...
Get the bowl you are planning on serving it in
and fill it to about two thirds of how full you want it to be when it is done. That much.
With rice, measure out on the plate, with dry rice, the exact size and dimensions of what you would consider a very small, but not unpleasant breast. That much per person.
Two handfuls of rice pp
(I don't know)
Royter's back then
250g between me, mrs ccb and the little'un
or if we're having rice, a medium-sized mug of rice
