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.
Two cups uncooked pasta is approx. 6 cups cooked. Pasta roughly triples in size when cooked.
why would you possibly need to know that
cause your mother wanted to know how much with this sausage she smoked!
8 ounces uncooked equals 4 cups cooked
1 cup cooked pasta
4 cups
1 cup
16 oz. dry rotini pasta should equal roughly 8 cups of cooked pasta (1 cup cooked pasta = 2 oz. dry pasta)
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.
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
8 oz. uncooked small to medium pasta shapes = 2 cups uncooked or 4 cups cooked(Examples: Elbow macaroni, medium shells, rotini, twists, spirals, wagon wheels, bow ties, mostaccioli, penne, ziti, radiatore, rigatoni)1 pound equals 16 oz.....so 4 cups of uncooked ziti pasta equals 1 pound
What that means is 3 cups of pasta measured after you have boiled it. It does NOT mean to measure it out THEN cook it.
usually cooked, they would specify uncooked if they wanted them uncooked.
One cup uncooked rice= about 2 to 2.5 cups cooked
It depends partly on the type of pasta. Generally there are about 75 to 90 grams of pasta in a cup.
Its about 3-3,5 cooked depending on brand and size.
Two ounces of dry noodles equals different amount cooked depending on the type of pasta. Two ounces dry macaroni equals 1 and one eighth cups cooked. Two ounces dry spaghetti equals one cup cooked. In general, two ounces of any uncooked pasta is one serving.
I would use 3 cups.
9 cups
