Pro tip:

10g of salt for 100g of pasta boiled in 1000g of water

I usually make 250g for two persons, so I use 2,5l of water and 25g of salt

Americans can figure out the conversion by themselves :’D

    That is an American measure. Imprecise as fuck.

    The metric conversion is:

    For an ISO standard size adult hand (adjust +/-13% to take into account hand size deviation from ISO standard):

    For spaghetti sizes 5-6, make the ok sign with your hand, placing the fingernail of your index finger against the base of your thumb for one person, against the middle joint for 2 people, and to the tip for 3 people.

    The pressure exerted by the index finger to the thumb joints should be 9.81 kPa +/- 15%.

    100g is near enough 4oz. So, just remember 4oz per person and you're good.

    I don't usually measure the water, but 1l of water is just under 2pints. And 10g of salt is more than I'd use, but I guess that's about just under 1/2 Oz.
