I recommend this to the amount of dry pasta (spaghetti or macaroni any other form) into two portions, a main dish (with sauce), and 4 drinks (110-175 g) as an appetizer. Before you drop the pasta, make sure that the water is boiling. Add the pasta as soon as possible, stir once to separate the noodles.
