A single 16oz (1lb) bag is enough for 4-5 people.

125g per person if you only eat that, 80 to 100 if you eat something else too
Good brands you can usually find outside of italy with not outrageous prices are Rummo and Garofalo, less good but still okay, and at a generally lower price, you can usually find Voiello or De Cecco
Barilla is the most common, but outside of their spaghetti I'm not a big fan
There are a bunch of others, but these tend to be easier to find
That's all, thank you for coming to my TED talk
You just don’t know how much to eat.
I have the amounts and cooking time written under the lid of each food item so that I don't need to ever think how much I need.
Can never make too much pasta. Better too much than too little. Can always throw the leftovers in the fridge and microwave it the day after or make a lunch box. Of course, if you are struggling with overeating, then idk. Make to little maybe.
250g per person.

I prepare 500g of this for 3 people, and that's just the raw pasta, not including the cheese, garlic, oil etc.
I prepare that for two people and it's nearly not enough (it's enough if you also make a salad). And we have normal weight.
500g for 2 people??? Finally, a worthy opponent. I guess some of us just have a black hole in our stomachs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Same, but with programming.
edit - I just love that there's nothing capitalism won't find a way to sell.

This is bizarre to me, I have literally never had this problem. Even if you don't have a scale, pasta is sold in standardized package weights and recipes have the weight you need so like if it says 12 oz then that's 3/4 of a 1 lb package. Then again, I always just scale the recipe to the full pound of pasta anyway because it's easier to deal with instead of just having 4 oz of pasta sitting around trying to figure out what to do with.

I just put ⅓ of the 500g packaging
