Things You must know before cooking Pasta!

Grab a bunch of dry spaghetti and pinch it between your thumb and forefinger. If the bunch is about the size of a US quarter, that’s one serving (2 oz). For short pasta like elbow macaroni, use a measuring cup—1/2 cup dry equals one serving. Penne? That’s 3/4 cup dry per serving. Lasagna is easy: 2 dry sheets per serving, and four layers in an 8x8 pan will feed four people. Egg noodles are the most straightforward—1 1/4 cups dry equals one serving, and it doesn’t change much after cooking. Measuring pasta before cooking saves you from leftovers or running out. Each shape has its own trick, but once you know, it’s a breeze! #PastaTips #CookingHacks #KitchenBasics #Food #Cooking
