Detailed explanation-1: -Two ounces dry pasta is equal to 1/2 cup dry pasta, which comes out to be 1 cup of cooked pasta.
Detailed explanation-2: -You will need roughly 1 cup (or 0.9 cups to be precise) of dried pasta to obtain 2 cups of cooked pasta. Generally, the ratio of dry pasta to cooked pasta is approximately 1:1.5 to 1:2, as the dry pasta tends to expand upon boiling/cooking, and it can easily double in weight.
Detailed explanation-3: -100g dry pasta turns into 100g*75/31 = 242g of cooked pasta.
Detailed explanation-4: -75g of uncooked pasta weighs approximately 170g when cooked.
Detailed explanation-5: -Measure out 1 cup (140 g) of cooked spaghetti for a large serving. Take a standard measuring cup and fill it to the brim with cooked noodles. If you’d prefer to be more precise, place the noodles in a small container and rest them on a food scale. Continue adjusting the portion until the scale reads 140 g.
