A pasta gauge for mechanically selecting specific quantities of elongated dried pasta, such as spaghetti, the gauge comprising a container to be filled with said pasta, said container having an endpiece capable of being adjusted so as to form in one end of the gauge an aperture of a predetermined area or of one of a plurality of predetermined areas, said aperture representing a specific quantity of said pasta, which quantity is selected from a larger bundle of dried pasta members within the gauge by tilting said gauge so that said specific quantity of pasta members slides through the aperture while the remaining pasta noodles are supported by the area surrounding the aperture and remain within the gauge, said specific quantity of pasta members thus being separated from the remainder of the bundle.
