Sometimes I only need one portion for a pot of soup, or a recipe wants some weird percentage of a package. Sometimes that works out between cooking sessions (the weird percentage left over is just enough for the soup!), but I generally can’t be bothered to stockpile odds and ends of pasta in the hope it works out. Easier (and more fun, imo) to just put two kinds in the same dish.
How does that happen? I portion out my pasta, usually get 4 servings per box. I have never had ’ a little bit left’.
375g packet. Need 500 for the family. End up using 1 & 1/3 packets, have 250g left. Rinse repeat and you get leftover packets.
