2. I don't measure

I've been cooking for over 60 years, and by now, rarely follow a recipe, unless it's for bakery. For something that uses pasta, I'm very flexible when I match the ratio of ingredients

i usually have several partial boxes or bags of pasta, taped shut (heading off the spills) I can use up small amounts in soup, or casseroles. If I have spaghetti, I break it into short lengths and add to soup as noodles. I don't like to mix the different shapes of pasta, but other than that, pasta is one thing I use up.
