  I learned that as a child from my mum, so it seemed basic knowledge to me. But I guess, Americans don’t use scales that much.

  Most recipes say 100g per serving (1/5 pound) but it’s best to know your individual needs.

    Exactly right, and weighing isn’t volume dependant, so you can weigh macaroni and spaghetti with the same tool and always get the same mass of pasta. It’s just the superior measurement for kitchens.

    You’ll find out! And the beauty of weight is it never changes so when you figure out that it’s somewhere north of 100g you’ll never make too much again.
