How Much Spaghetti Should You Cook Per Person?

Use 4 to 6 quarts of water per 1 lb. of uncooked pasta for best results. Kosher salt can be used during the boiling process to enhance the flavor of the pasta.

Cooked pasta can be safely stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. Dry pasta that does not contain egg can be stored for 2 years, and uncooked pasta with egg can be stored for 1 year.
