How do I know how much to boil just for me? I always seem to make too much

[Shaun]

-always does this too-

[Mrluvaluva]

Ahh just throw it in. Better to have too much than too little.

[King Gizzard]

Normally do as much as what the sauce I'm doing it with says. About 200g

although that serves like 3 people but i eat it all anyway

[Smithy]

Put in less than you normally do

[Boothy]

Doesn't it double in size when you boil it? So half the amount you want to eat.

[Bollo]

If its a 500g pack, then roughly one fifth of the pack

[Benjamin]

a large handful.

I think I'll probably have to snap it in half too so will have to take that into account

Why would you snap it

[CharlieO]

Join your thumb and index finger, the spaghetti that can fit in that whole is just a little more than enough.

Cos it sticks out the pan maybe my pan is small or I'm doing it wrong

Its meant to do that! The longer it stays in there, the less rigid it gets. It sinks down the pan that way. There's no need to snap it.

It will do. My Mum lived in Italy for ages, so she taught me how to cook pasta well.

[Doogle]

Just do way too much, then you get more after

[Mrluvaluva]

Have you made your own sauce?

[Ninastar]

I snap my spaghetti too!!

[InOne]

No that is another feat in itself lol I got dolmio or whatever. I suppose I could give it a go though

[King Gizzard]

Wouldn't that mean half of it is more cooked
