200g of dried pasta is like… 2 portions at most. lol

200 g of spaghetti is about 300 calories. it would barely constitute more than a serving in the United States

I dont think your family understands grams

It’s a big-ish single pasta portion but I wouldn’t call it goliath. For dinner for two, I generally use 1/2 pound / ~225g of whatever pasta I’m making. Your meatball portioning looks right for a single serving.
Your recipe would definitely result in a full plate but I wouldn’t call it huge.

Looks good for a first portion of pasta for two people. When you’re still going to have a second plate and dessert.

Man you guys sure eat small portions of pasta. For me I feel like 4oz (113g) is the bare minimum, but I usually do more than that unless I’m eating a heavier sauce like vodka sauce or something with a lot of protein.
When I make it at home I’m generally eating just pasta so I need it to be enough calories for a full meal. Half a box of pasta (8oz or 226g) is 800kcal; figure maybe 400kcal at most from oil/butter/cheese and that’s a solid meal for me.

Never hurts to try it and see. If you like you you can always freeze it for later

We usually cook 50 grams of dry pasta per person, so 200 grams would equal to 4 portions.

for dry pasta at home, i use 125g / person. the “polite” posh restaurant portion is usually 100grams. if its primo piatto it could be 75-80 but the second dish would be a steak or a fish. a country tavern would serve more than 150g /person. all weights uncooked

What do the red marks signify? I’m used to seeing that as a teacher saying you got something wrong.
