GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Originally, spaghetti was notably long, but shorter lengths gained in popularity during the latter half of the 20th century and now it is most commonly available in 25–30 cm (10–12 in) lengths.

Detailed explanation-2: -But what, exactly, are you supposed to call that singular strand of pasta? As it turns out, the word for an individual piece of spaghetti: spaghetto.

Detailed explanation-3: -Here’s how to do it: Take your pointer finger and thumb and make a circle, then shrink it small enough that it’s roughly the size of a quarter. Then push the pasta in between your fingers, and whatever fits is a single serving. Now you can easily measure out pasta for one, two, or a whole crowd.
