2 oz of pasta: A Nutritional Guide

Ricardo Davis

According to the Internet, the hole in the middle of a pasta spoon can double as a portioning tool for spaghetti. However, this only works for a specific size of pasta spoon.
Other methods suggested for measuring pasta include comparing it to a quarter, using your palm as a guide, using a soda bottle opening, using a food scale, filling the center of a circle made with your fingers, filling a muffin tin with cooked noodles, or dividing the pasta into separate portions based on the recommendations on the box.
Pasta water can be saved and used as a thickening agent for pasta sauce.
Spaghetti should be carefully placed in boiling water and stirred to separate strands.
Adding a pinch of sugar to pasta sauce can balance out the acidity.
Different types of pasta shapes work best with different types of sauces.
Leftover cooked pasta can be frozen, but sauce should be frozen separately.
A single serving size of pasta is typically about two ounces of dry pasta, which is equivalent to about a cup of cooked pasta.
The article provides a handy chart for determining the amount of pasta to cook based on pasta shape.
