There are 4 cups of dry elbow macaroni in 16 oz./1 pound. I saw some "silly" answers from people who took liquid measurements for their answer to this question.
They answered: 1 cup equals 8 oz., meaning 2 cups would be 16 oz. That is for liquids only....not dried foods. Depending on the weight of the dry food, the answer would be different for each kind of food.
There are over 300 kinds of pasta - all different ! Half a pound of Small Bowtie pasta is 2 cups - but half a pound of Spaghettini is only 1/2 a cup . -So for a question like this you must specify WHICH pasta -
<p>About 8 cups of cooked rigatoni (see <a href="http://anse.rs/KMoEN2">this web page</a>).<p>
1 cup is eight ounces and 16 ounces are in one pound. Do the math.
Macaroni is about 120 grams per cup, so a pound is about 3.65 cups.
14 been there done that....
About 3.8 cups
Approximately 3.6 cups to a pound of dry bowtie pasta.
Four cups of cheese equals one pound. But I don't know if that translates to pasta.
One pound of dry pasta yields 8 cups of cooked pasta.
9 cups
1 pound of elbow pasta (dry) = 4 cups 1 pound of spaghetti (2 inch pieces, dry) = 4.75 (4-3/4) cups Taken from: http://muextension.missouri.edu/explore/miscpubs/mp0563_01.htm
2 cups ( 16 ounces ) equals a pound.
8 oz. uncooked small to medium pasta shapes = 2 cups uncooked or 4 cups cooked(Examples: Elbow macaroni, medium shells, rotini, twists, spirals, wagon wheels, bow ties, mostaccioli, penne, ziti, radiatore, rigatoni)1 pound equals 16 oz.....so 4 cups of uncooked ziti pasta equals 1 pound
Approximately 3.68 cups
uncooked bow tie is approximately 3.6 cups to a pound
We can't answer that as you don't say WHAT KIND OF PASTA. - All are different.
Nmae the pasta, all are different density.
Four cups of cheese equals one pound. But I don't know if that translates to pasta.
