A good rule of thumb I've found is that a typical portion is about 4oz of dry pasta per person. Cooking for two people you can easily eyeball what half a box of straight pasta is, for 3 or 4 people just cook the whole box.
For other pasta types, you can measure a single or double serving by pouring into a bowl as if it's cereal.
- wildzzz 9mo agoYep, a pound of pasta is about 4 good servings for an adult so use that to factor how much or little you want. I'll typically make one pound of pasta for my wife and I for dinner and lunch the next day. Although depending on the sauce or any added meat, it could easily be 5 or more servings. Growing up, my mom would use one 1lb box of pasta, one 24oz jar of sauce, one onion, and 1lb of ground beef to make enough food for a family of two adults and three kids.
