Dried pasta doubles or triples in size as it cooks and plumps up with water as it becomes re-hydrated, so you would need to measure 1 to 1-1/2 cups.
Fresh pasta does not plump up to the same degree. Look on the package, or ask the seller, to see how many servings you can expect per package.
I dont really know but you should check in a cookbook.They might have sme really good answers there. :)
There's about 6 cups of cooked pasta you get from 1 lb dry pasta.
so 18 cups of cooked pasta can be made from 3 lbs. of dry pasta. This will weigh about 4.5 lbs more or less.
9 cups
Depends WHICH pasta. -Pasta has many different weight/volume ratios.
16 oz. dry rotini pasta should equal roughly 8 cups of cooked pasta (1 cup cooked pasta = 2 oz. dry pasta)
Depends on your size and weight and the size of the 'cup'.
One pound dried pasta yields the same amount of cooked pasta as 1 1/2 pounds fresh pasta. Check the Cook's Thesaurus online to get additional details regarding what sauces work well with what type of pasta.
An exact figure depends on the type of noodle or pasta. In general I would expect 12 oz to make about 1.6- 2 pounds cooked.
One pound of dry pasta yields 8 cups of cooked pasta.
2 oz dry pasta equals one cup cooked pasta.
It fills approximately 2.2 cups cooked
It is 16 ounces, because one cup is 8 fluid ounces or just ounces.-Hannah Hannah, you're confusing fluid ounces, which measure volume, with ounces that measure mass... which I believe is the situation the asker is dealing with. In my experience, about 3/4 cup of dry pasta is 2 ounces.It also depends on what type of pasta you are measuring. Two cups of orzo will weight more than two cups of penne.
About 2. Just cook some, and see how many cups you have filled once it is cooked?
Usually pasta will increase to twice its size by being cooked. For 6lbs uncooked, I would estimate 3lbs raw. A cup is a measurement of volume, and a pound is a measurement of weight so, the conversion between the two will vary.. 1lb (450g) butter or margarine = 2 cups (or four sticks). 1lb (450g) flour = 4 cups. 1lb 450 g, granulated or caster, (superfine), sugar = 2 cups. 1lb 450 g, icing sugar (confectioners' sugar) = 3 cups.
