It is 16 ounces, because one cup is 8 fluid ounces or just ounces.-Hannah 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.
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
Approximately 3.68 cups
depends how big the cup is.
There are typically about 8 cups of uncooked pasta in a 16-ounce package.
The conversion rate for uncooked pasta to cups can vary depending on the shape and size of the pasta. On average, 500 grams of uncooked pasta is roughly equivalent to about 4 cups of uncooked pasta. It's important to note that this is an approximate conversion, and the exact measurement may vary slightly.
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
There are about 4 cups of uncooked rotini pasta in 16 ounces.
I would use 3 cups.
Define the pasta -all are different.
