One super interesting thing about our tool is that it has two different ways to calculate your pasta. One option (NUMBER OF GUESTS) will allow you to calculate how much pasta you should make for a specific amount of people. It will even answer how much of different pastas you should make as a main dish or a side dish.
The other option (PASTA FEEDING) will let you calculate how many people a specific amount of pasta can feed without much problem. Both are useful for specific situations, so just pick the one you think is better for you currently.
- Input All The Info
The “NUMBER OF GUESTS” option is super simple. You just need to add how many people you plan to feed and that will be everything. But “PASTA FEEDING” will let you add a number and also pick from many options of pasta, its weight, and even if it’s being used as a main dish or side dish.
Depending on which one you picked for use, add its necessary information to get accurate results for yourself. Speaking of results, here is how the tool will show them to you:
