A single 16oz (1lb) bag is enough for 4-5 people.
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.
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.
You just don’t know how much to eat.
edit - I just love that there's nothing capitalism won't find a way to sell.

Same, but with programming.
I just put ⅓ of the 500g packaging
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 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)_/¯
250g per person.
