What To Do With Left Over Pasta

Cooking the exact amount of pasta required for your dish can be tough. There are just far too many conflicting opinions on how much raw pasta will be enough; is it a handful per-person, or is it a cup? The middle ground seems to be to just cook more pasta than required, which poses a whole new problem itself – we now have more than we need. Check out our suggestions below on what you can do with that leftover pasta that either doesn’t get used, or simply doesn’t get eaten.
