I’m doing that filled pasta from lidl for dinner and I don’t know if the way to weigh/it count, it is to count the uncoooked weight or weigh it after I cook it?

Help appreciated.

Have you scanned the barcode? Might give you the option of 1 pack, 1/2 pack etc?

I'd just use the barcode and bip it, see what that comes up with. If it's 300g and you're having half a packet, then put in 150g. Normally, it'll come up with the whole pack and you input 0.5 a pack.

It came up with half a pack I had just over half cooked so put that in.

It depends on what the back of the packet says, it will say as prepared (cooked) or as sold (raw) or something similar. If there's just the as sold values and I'm sharing, I usually weigh the whole lot cooked, weigh mine and then do the maths. If I'm just cooking for me, then it's easier!
