HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -For types that aren’t long like spaghetti, two cups of water should do. For longer types, four cups of water should be enough, though I’ve done Asian-style noodles with two cups using a frying pan (it’s wide enough to let me see what I’m doing when boiling the noodles).

Detailed explanation-3: -Two servings = 1 cup; four servings = 2 cups; six servings = 3 cups; eight servings = 4 cups.
