I usually go 2:1, so 64 liquid oz, but the good thing about pasta is you can't frick it up.
Too much liquid? Just steam it longer.
Too little? Add more

Rice, your arse better be exact.

I use 4.5 cups of water for every 1 pound of pasta.

32 ounces of pasta = 2 pounds of pasta

9 cups of water for 2 pounds of pasta

Penne, so you must be making a “wet” one, not that dried out spaghetti garbage.

If you’re using spaghetti and need a 2:1 ratio, how do you figure out the volume?

I start out with 1 1/2 - 2 quarts per pound, but just keep
Cooking and adding what is necessary, pastalya is so forgiving you don’t have to worry much, made this batch last week


















Pastalya was requested and it turned out good, but I still prefer jambalaya

You’re not browning right. You’re missing out on a ton of flavor and you’re overcooking your chicken.

Sausage, then remove.
Chicken, then remove.
Vegetables.

Used to do it like that, now I don’t, much quicker, easier , dirty far less stuff and no change in taste of final product, you ought to try it

Appreciate the advice, but I was not asking for any, go eat a bag of dicks

Lol. Go ahead and argue that jamabalaya and pastalaya should be cooked by browning chicken, followed by sausage (with the chicken), followed by onions (with the sausage and chicken). There is nothing you can say to make that better than browning the proper way. Downvote and curse me all you want, everyone here knows it’s true.

Oh, and stay classy food board. We’re telling posters to eat bags of dicks now. Wow! Is a bag of dicks food now? Where do we find bags of dicks? I asked your mom and she didn’t know.

I tell the correct method and in return I’m told to eat a bag of dicks, yet I’m still the prick, huh? Y’all MFers need Jesus.

You're not a prick for providing advice. You're just kind of a prick in general.

Like I said, you are 100% correct here in providing technique on a better final product.

Nah dog, I cook it properly.

And yes there is a change to the final product. There may not be enough of a difference for you to care, but you cannot say there’s not a change. That statement alone tells us you don’t know what you’re saying.
