Nmae the pasta, all are different density.
1 pound of elbow pasta (dry) = 4 cups 1 pound of spaghetti (2 inch pieces, dry) = 4.75 (4-3/4) cups Taken from: http://muextension.missouri.edu/explore/miscpubs/mp0563_01.htm
ANSWER:2 cups will equal a pound. Per the National Pasta Association:How much cooked pasta does one pound of dry pasta make?It depends on which shape you're cooking, but you'll get a pretty close idea from this chart:Type of pastaUncooked weight=Cooked amountSmall to medium pasta shapes(Elbow Macaroni, Medium Shells, Rotini, Twists, Spirals,Wagon Wheels, Bow Ties, Mostaccioli, Penne, Radiatore, Rigatoni)8 oz. uncooked=4 cups cookedLong pasta shapes(Spaghetti, Angel Hair, Linguine, Vermicelli, Fettuccine)8 oz. uncooked or1 1/2 inch diameter bunch=4 cups cookedEgg Noodles8 oz. uncooked=2 1/2 cups cooked
It really depends on the pasta shape. If it's a hollow or tubular pasta then the volume of one cup won't weight as much as a solid or long pasta. If I measure out a bag of ziti for instance, I can get 2.5 cups out of one pound of pasta. However, if I measure out one cup of pastina or soup pasta, such as alphabet or stars, I would probably only get one cup out of a pound.
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.
I can of 28 oz. tomatoes will usually get you through a pound of pasta. Sometimes you will have a little leftover.
Depends on the kind of pasta, all are different.
1 cup orzo pasta weighs 7 oz on the nose.
That is about 3.6 cups.
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.
That is 3.3 cups
A quarter pound.It weighs the same as a quarter pound of butter.A quarter pound of anything weighs a quarter pound
That is 3/4 pound of pasta.
