Easy ..put the pasta in the bowl you're going to use first, then tip it into the boiling water
Bacon, mushroom, broccoli and a dollop of cream cheese with black pepper my default fast food fix ..20 mins max  |

I use the kids ikea plastic cups to measure penne/similar.
1 cup = 1 child portion
1.5-2 cups = 1 adult portion
If there's more than 3 I maybe add an extra cup full. |

"I'm good with everything but spaghetti. I know you can get that clever gadget helping you to decide amount but I refuse to give in.  "
It would be easier to buy bigger plates  |

A mug full each with an extra sprinkle to make sure, never looks enough but it normally is. Spaghetti about a third of the packet for two.
Always some left over, but win win as easy lunch for me the next day |

Measure it in a cup or weigh it maybe xyou know how it is best intentions but then you think this is it "
Try using dried tagliatelle |

"I don't worry about cooking too much. In for a penne, in for a pound, I say.

I eat a stupid amount of pasta in one sitting, but know that (after years of angst..) if it covers the bottom of the pan when dry then it'll be enough.
Dont forget that it swells in size!
Fnar. Etc. |

"There better not be any spaghetti snappers here...
Guilty, I'm afraid. And I chop it up on the plate as well. For shame  "
For the love of God!! Just buy a different pasta that fits in the ruddy pot |

"4 of my handfuls per person seems to work in our house. I used to have a spaghetti measure but I swear it was for child portions so binned it
J x"
It probably wasn't. 1 serving dry pasta should be around 75g. Trouble here is our portion sizes. |

"I’m ok with Pasta it’s rice that gets me every time. Oh looks like I’m eating for 4 tonight
Half a cup for one person "
But what size is the cup? Are we talk Sports Direct or the one that came with my Easter egg last year? |

If you come round I can give you a lesson of rice portions if you like. We can put unchained melody on in the background too? |

"Rice 65g per person, past 75g per person. I got it off the packets one time and it just stuck with me..
Is that one fistful or two"
How big is your fist? |
