Introduction: How to Measure Spaghetti Servings

By I support Smirnoff here
About: I am married with two children. Spring, summer, and fall are my very favorite times of the year. I enjoy working in the yard, sewing, cooking, quilting, gardening, and creating. I do this to keep my sanity.

In the past I have never  measured spaghetti because if I had extra I always used leftovers for the next day.  I have noticed that I have more waste now that my family is smaller; so I try to cook just what we will eat that day plus one serving. Using the quarter, nickel, and dime method I came up with this idea.This Instructable is how to make a spaghetti measure so you don't have any waste.    

Step 1: What You Will Need

1 Scrap piece of craft foam.
1 Quarter.
1 Nickel.
1 Dime.
1 Marker.
Scissors.






Step 2: Method

Place the quarter, nickel,and dime over the foam and draw a circle around each coin. 

Step 3: Cutting the Foam

Poke the center of the circles with the scissor point.
Trim out the coin shapes. 

Step 4: Wash the Foam

Wash the foam piece.
Store in a kitchen drawer.
The Dime shape is for a small child.
The Nickel shape is for a older child.
The quarter shape is for an adult with a small appetite.
2 Quarters is for an adult with a  hefty appetite.  

Step 5: Sunshiine's Final Thoughts

This spaghetti measure will be just the thing to measure spaghetti so there will be less waste.  I am very happy with the end results. 
Thank you for stopping by and please remember to have a wonderful day!
