How do you know how much spaghetti to cook?

2oz per person dry or eight servings per pound is what we use for cooking for 100 people and it works out great. Some people eat more, some people eat less. I eat a bit more so if I'm just cooking for myself I make an OK sign with my fingers to make a bundle and it works out great.

Do you realize that on every package of spaghetti, there are directions for cooking the stuff? Oh well, I have just checked my old Better Homes and Gardens cook book and found a recipe for Spaghetti and meatballs. This dish calls for 10-12 ounces of spaghetti and will produce 4 - 6 servings for a main dish. On my spaghetti box in the pantry, it says that 16 ounces makes 8 servings. Maybe this will help you. Good luck.
