Pasta is really hard to measure because of all the different shapes and sizes. The only really accurate way is to weigh it when dry, allowing 2 ounces (56 grams) per serving, and then divide it evenly when cooked, into that number of servings.

Portion sizes for cooked pasta would actually depend on the shape and size of the noodles, and whether the pasta is a side dish or the main dish. As a side, a serving would be 1/2 cup and as the main dish, a serving would be 1 cup, possibly more.

How much pasta salad per person?

It' s a subjective question. A serving size is typically considered to be 1/2 cup of cooked pasta. The USDA recommends 6 - 11 servings per day of grains (including pasta) with 3 meals per day containing grains then 1 - 3 cups could be considered per meal, but this is dependent on the size and activity level of the person eating it as well. A portion size is not a serving size. A small person weighing 120 lbs. may only have a portion size of 2-3 servings or 1 - 1.5 cups, where as a professional football player weighing 250 lbs. might eat a portion of 6 servings or 3 cups per meal. Typically, when I make pasta, I expect a person to eat approximately 2 cups If it is a main dish and 1 cup if it is a side dish. I hope this helps.

What will too much pasta do to the body?

Eating too much pasta can cause health concerns but not because anything is inherently bad about pasta. In fact, pasta contains protein, carbohydrates, fiber and nutrients. The problem with overconsumption comes from getting too many calories and excluding other healthy foods from your diet as you fill up on pasta. The key is paying close attention to the amount you eat because your portion may exceed the recommended serving.
