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.
All pasta has different weight/volume ratios. Please SPECIFY WHICH pasta in an a question like this.
