Or you could use the hole in your spoon, which is approximately one serving...

If you're out buying stuff you can buy one with different serving sizes for each hole. Seems handy for that one time, after that you already have an idea of how much 'getti you need.

Or well, OP doesn't but still

Kitchen scale helps. I do around 75g per person

Huh... I typically do 125-175g per person for a main depending on how hungry I am

thats actually super dangerous because there is a high chance you will eat too much spaghetti and get sleepy, leading you to go to bed on time

Tfw i always make 250g for myself

I mean, it totally depends on the dish... Spaghetti aglio e olio is 90% pasta. Spaghetti Bolognese is most like 60% pasta.

The De Cecco box always recommends 56g, and I never feel like I need any more!

I hope you guys have something else as a second course because my family and I have always eaten 120g or more. I'm underweight and don't do sports

Really depends whether the pasta is the main attraction or just a side. 120 g is not a whole lot calorie-wise, I think it would be under 500 kcal for the noodles alone.

Average forefinger and thumb grasps about 1-1.5 servings of spaghetti. Pasta in general, any shape, 1 pound serves 4-6.

I make like two gallons of sauce.... freeze half and have leftovers for a few days on the other half.

Simple, half box if you want it to last four days and quarter box if you want it to last two days. Really depends on the size of your servings tho

If you are making your own pasta, take ONE whole egg and add the flour little by little until you make the dough.
