Pastas Assembled - Lemmy.World

Do you cook your pasta in a large pot, with plenty of boiling water, and a good amount of salt? Usually I just stir once just after putting the pasta in, and I never have noodles sticking together.
My pot would have to be 3x its size to fit the amount of water a single package of pasta says I should use.
1kg to 10l
Do you have a bathtub in your stove?
1 kg of dry pasta is enough for 10 people! Do you often cook for that many people? (Genuine question)
Not in my experience, I usually count 200g per person
That’s a LOT of pasta per person. Not unheard of, but still a lot

Me going through this thread

That’d be two people, five meals each so a few days. That’s how I usually do it

This is making me chuckle, because I just did this last night for a dinner party. It was a hell of a lot of pasta for 7. I kept it moving, even in my big stock pot. Only a few strands stuck to the bottom. We have leftovers.

I usually cook a quarter of that for the two of us, sometimes half if I want to eat for a couple of days.

2lbs/1 kg is a lot.
