Check the recipe procedure to see when the pasta is added to the ingredients. Is it added to existing liquid? If not, then it generally would mean to add already cooked pasta.
I take it as meaning dry.
2.5 lb.
One pound of dry pasta equals 2.5 pounds of cooked pasta.
Generally about 200 calories per serving, which is pretty much the same as with cooked pasta.
2 oz dry pasta equals one cup cooked pasta.
60 grams of dry pasta will cookout to weigh about 100 grams
16 oz. dry rotini pasta should equal roughly 8 cups of cooked pasta (1 cup cooked pasta = 2 oz. dry pasta)
Pasta is pasta, whether it is cooked or not. They should be the same. The only difference would be if you added something (butter, oil, sauce, ect.) to the cooked pasta.
Approximately 2.4 times its dry uncooked weight.
According to the National Pasta Association , 8 ounces of uncooked long pasta, such as spaghetti will yield 4 cups of cooked pasta. Thus, a "serving" of 2 oz. uncooked spaghetti will be the nutritional equivalent of 1 cup of cooked spaghetti.
What that means is 3 cups of pasta measured after you have boiled it. It does NOT mean to measure it out THEN cook it.
9 cups
One pound of dry pasta yields 8 cups of cooked pasta.
All pasta is not created equally Spaghetti is packed pretty much with no empty spaces that's why a pound of spaghetti box is smaller than some of the other shapes. Cooked pasta weighs more and expands. 16oz spaghetti is less than 2 cups since it is more dense than water when dry (doesn't float)
