I always cook the whole package. I can eat leftovers later or make some new dish out of it the next day.

You see that hole? That's enough for 1 serving.
Looks over at my teens
Yeah, sure. For me maybe.
If I cook a box I'll still have about a couple cups left over. If I cook half a box they'll all be bitching that they're still hungry in 15 minutes, and they'll consume another entire box.
I cook it restaurant style I don't even stop the water from boiling.
Honestly, it's one of the reasons I don't cook that much spaghetti the chunkier pasta shaped work better as leftovers.

Same until I realized spaghetti works great for pasta salad.

I still just go for 100g/person. Altough the hole trick is nice if your out and about and done have a scale
If you are out and have your travel spaghetti scooper with you
It's also an emergency hairbrush. Slam it in a drawer with the head sticking out and boom, overnight jewelry holder. Or hold it up in front of your face and you can watch people without them knowing. It's the all-accessory!
Who doesn't make travel spaghetti with their portable pot of boiling water?

YO WHAT? How have I never known this til now?
Srsly? You have changed my life!!!
Instructions unclear, my spaghetto is stuck in the spoon hole...
back scratcher?
Desperation breeds innovation I guess.
It's a holy back scratcher ;)
between 70-500g per person. Hope it helps.
Instead of measuring out your pasta, have you considered switching to Linux?
What's Linux?
1 person: what fits in the hole when you place your index finger against the first joint in your thumb. 2 person, second joint. three person thumb tip. Smaller rations, loose fit, larger rations tighter fit. Try a few times to adjust for your hand size. It's just a step above eyeballing, but shockingly effective.
Edit: Not that hole, I see you coming. And not coming that way. Jeez, the infantilism!
Don't blame us! You're the one talking dirty!

125 grams of dried pasta per person, as a main course usually works fine for me.
I use 160g spaghetti with an entire 14oz jar of sauce, personally.

I keep seeing variations of this theme. My mom always does the opposite. Like 12 people are coming over for thanksgiving or Christmas and she makes one little bag of noodles.
Pot is an effective limitator.
You don’t get the munchies?
I feel like a fatass because I never need to measure spaghetti. One box is two servings.
1g per 1kg of your weight. So for someone who weighs 100kg you use 100g of pasta.

Cook it all. Save what you don't eat in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Cooked noodles are so useful. Fry them with chili paste, yum yum! Make peanut sauce and eat them cold. Even just tossed with sesame oil and salt they are pretty good.
This. Also toss it evenly with some olive oil before you put it in the fridge. Will delay the concrete phase by a lot
Be careful with this.
Turned pasta is really dangerous and hard to notice as it doesn't have an awful smell or look like other foods when bacteria settles.

125g per person if you only eat that, 80 to 100 if you eat something else too
Good brands you can usually find outside of italy with not outrageous prices are Rummo and Garofalo, less good but still okay, and at a generally lower price, you can usually find Voiello or De Cecco
Barilla is the most common, but outside of their spaghetti I'm not a big fan
There are a bunch of others, but these tend to be easier to find
That's all, thank you for coming to my TED talk
Get some containers and keep leftovers. Cooking more than you will eat in one sitting saves your future self some work.
If you are a guy then its an easy measurement. Make an o with your finger and thumb the girth of your erect dick. That's your dick width of pasta serving. No more. No less!

Can never make too much pasta. Better too much than too little. Can always throw the leftovers in the fridge and microwave it the day after or make a lunch box. Of course, if you are struggling with overeating, then idk. Make to little maybe.
