The amount of pasta that equals a gallon can vary depending on the type of pasta and whether it's dry or cooked. Generally, 1 gallon of dry pasta weighs about 4 to 5 pounds, which translates to approximately 16 to 20 cups of dry pasta, depending on the shape. When cooked, pasta expands significantly, so a gallon of cooked pasta would require much less dry pasta to achieve the same volume.
