I would much rather see the weight of pasta on a recipe card than the volume. The biggest reason is that I have a hard time cooking more than 2 pounds of pasta in a pot at one time. I use my biggest pot and a bunch of water, but if I add more than 2 pounds of pasta to the water it sticks together and doesn't cook properly. Once it's cooked there's the problem of draining off the boiling water. For shaped pasta I use the lid to drain the water, but that trick usually results in lost spaghetti, so it doesn't always work. My colander only fits 2 pounds of pasta and even that's a stretch. When I need to cook more than 2 pounds of pasta, I use multiple pots and/or multiple batches. BTW, I cook alone so this isn't as big a deal as it would be if I were cooking for 2 families. I have to disagree with you on the pasta.

I crave a step-by-step approach when it comes to something daunting like this. I'm grateful for very organized people who are liberal with the tips and tricks. Thanks!!
