I can assure you, there is no such thing called “enough pasta”.
Just don’t sauce the extra portion, and then eat it cold at 3am like a goblin. 😆
When making long noodles. Make a circle with your thumb and index. Bring your index all the way to the base of your thumb. Somewhere in there is the amount you will eat (of dry noodles that fit). Find it, and never make the wrong amount again.
I just tried this and I’m still hungry.
Oh wait. Is penne not a “long noodle”?
I can relate! I’ve learned to measure my pasta by weight. I know how much my household cares to eat, and I cook that amount or a bit more for leftovers.
I do the same. To add, 1 portion is about 120-150g depending how much you like to eat. And for those who asks how to weight spaghettis, put 1 glass on balance, do the tare and put your pasta.

Yup, that’s the trick!
Grab however much pasta you want to eat, then cut it in half. It will approximately double after being cooked.
For a hot moment there, I thought, you meant cutting it with a knife/scissors.
That would technically work too I guess
No worries! Just means you’ll have leftovers for a few days.
I’ll have leftovers for as long as they stay out of my mouth, thank you.
Leftovers?
“Still not enough!”
Always too much or too little.
I feel personally attacked. Every damn time lol.
Cook all, cook once, food for three meals.
If he eats to much he’ll croak 🐸🍝
