Years ago I got out the scales and figured out that eight ounces of pasta is just right for dinner for two. Which is convenient because pasta is sold by the pound, so you get two meals out of a box.

Leftover pasta is always shit. By the time it's cold it should be thrown out, there's no salvaging it. Make enough for one small serving per person. If seconds are wanted make more. It's all of 15 seconds of work at most but is 20x more enjoyable.

If you cooked pasta more often, you'd get a gauge for it and this wouldn't be a problem.
In a way, you don't make enough pasta which is why you make too much pasta.

tuck your pointer finger into the little notch of your thumb knuckle, spaghetti should have a bit of comfort room around that. hasn't steered me wrong. Leaves me enough for the leftover sauce usually. If just for yourself and one serving, your thumb into the first knuckle joint of your pointer.

I will never understand Americans and their need for their skin to be some tone of orange to be considered "normal". White people don't belong in the sun. Trump is a good example of this.

just buy a scale.
125 gr is the fatass portion (a 500 gr pack divided by 4)
100 gr is the normal portion (5 portions per pack)
80 gr is the weight conscious portion (6 portions per pack)
60 gr is the fancy restaurant portion (8 portions per pack)
