Check out how Steve guarantees perfect portions…
An adult portion of pasta (penne, fusilli) should be 100g – but for those that don’t want to weigh it out - It should almost fill a medium sized mug (10oz) of dry pasta OR it covers the bottom of a pasta bowl.
A portion of spaghetti is 60g – or if weighing is too much hassle - a portion of spaghetti just fits in the top of a wine/beer bottle, or just covers a £1 coin
One handful per person for a portion of rice, or two handfuls for a hungry teenager. A portion is 75g- so you could weigh out one portion, then pour it into a cup or container that it fits into perfectly so you can use that as a measure next time. We have 1 portion rice scoops to give away – so you never have to waste rice again! Email [email protected] if you’d like one – we guarantee it will change your life!
