Is this a thing?
>consume 100g of protein
>don't gain 100g of muscle
You can still make gains while eating at maintenance. I've been in the same weight range for 2 years now and my numbers are still increasing.
Bulking is mostly a meme

Of course.. How the fuck would you even calculate calories from the wet pasta? Would you put it on the scale afterwards?
You measure up enough pasta to get enough calories and then you cook it, simple.
