Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -From dry to cooked, most pasta doubles in volume. In other words, 1 cup dry rice becomes 3 cups of cooked, and 1 cup of dry pasta becomes 2 cups of cooked pasta.
Detailed explanation-2: -100g dry pasta turns into 100g*75/31 = 242g of cooked pasta.
Detailed explanation-3: -75g of uncooked pasta weighs approximately 170g when cooked.
Detailed explanation-4: -The recommended pasta serving size is 2 ounces (56 g) of uncooked pasta, which equals approximately 1 cup (200 g) of cooked pasta.
Detailed explanation-5: -Two ounces dry pasta is equal to 1/3 cup dry pasta. When boiled, that comes out to be 4/5 cup cooked pasta, or just shy of 1 cup.
