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.
Approximately 2.4 times its dry uncooked weight.

Veggies are healthy cooked, and uncooked. However, cooking vegetables does cause some of their nutrients to leach out into the water they are cooked in. Steaming or roasting doesn't cause as much loss.
Because pasta packages the suggested serving size is two ounces per person, you would need at least 300 ounces for 150 people. This translates into 18.75 pounds of pasta. However, to have enough, it may be wise to cook 20 pounds of dry pasta. A typical package of dry pasta contains 16 ounces or a pound.
the same as uncooked apples....
100g of dried pasta makes about 240g of cooked pasta. So roughly 40g
Life needs water. Due to this simple fact, any kind of wet climate will naturally attract mold, because mold is a living "thing". When you cook pasta, you boil it in water, right? Well, during this process, the pasta absorbs the water and retains it. As time progresses, mold will begin to settle in your cooked pasta, because like all living things, we need water and will go to desperate measures to get it if we have to. Putting it in the fridge will slow down the process, but will not eliminate it. Sticking in the freezer, on the other hand, is much more beneficial, considering that not many things (including mold) will survive in such a climate. Dry pasta, as you may now understand, contains no water or any nutrients that would attract mold. This is why anything damp or wet will attract mold quickly (especially at room temperature), where as dry foods will vary (depending on the ingredients and how it was cooked) and rarely attract mold.
