Even non-professionals can cook spaghetti.
But do you know why the spaghetti spoon actually has a hole in the middle?
A brilliant trick that you should know.
Pasta * is one of the most popular dishes in Germany.
Fusilli, penne, linguine or spaghetti - almost everyone can get
excited about
a
delicious pasta dish
.
There are also so many ways of preparation, just as far as the type of pasta or sauces is concerned.
A
spaghetti
spoon
, also called a
spaghetti
server
or
pasta ladle
, can be found in many kitchens.
The jagged kitchen utensil makes it easier to move the cooked pasta from the pot to the plate.
What many do not question, however, is the
hole in the middle
that most pasta scoops have.
Sure, you might think that this is useful for draining any water residue - but another function of the hole is actually much more practical!
Also interesting:
the hole in the pan handle has a completely different purpose than you think.
The hole in the pasta spoon is good for this: no more cooking too much spaghetti
What some pasta fans did not know before: The hole in the spoon helps you
measure
the amount of
spaghetti
a person is eating.
To do this, simply take the pasta spoon and put as much uncooked spaghetti through it as can fit.
That's roughly the
average amount for one person
.

Small downer: In fact, not every pasta ladle or spaghetti spoon has such a hole in the middle.
Just have a look in the kitchen to see if your pasta ladle is suitable as a spaghetti dosing aid.

No pasta spoon in the house: this is how you can calculate the correct amount of pasta
If you don't have a pasta spoon at home, here is another trick for
measuring the right amount
: Pasta experts recommend that you
expect
around
100 grams of
dry pasta
per person
for a main course
.
Sounds a little?
Keep in mind that pasta roughly doubles in weight as it cooks.
If you only plan to use the pasta as a side dish, you will consume less accordingly, if you expect pasta lovers as guests, a larger amount per person.
