Best Answer

Dried pasta doubles or triples in size as it cooks and plumps up with water as it becomes re-hydrated, so you would need to measure 1 to 1-1/2 cups.

Fresh pasta does not plump up to the same degree. Look on the package, or ask the seller, to see how many servings you can expect per package.

There's about 6 cups of cooked pasta you get from 1 lb dry pasta.

so 18 cups of cooked pasta can be made from 3 lbs. of dry pasta. This will weigh about 4.5 lbs more or less.

If you needs two cups uncooked pasta how many cups is it cooked?

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.

How many cooked cups of pasta in 6 pounds uncooked pasta?

Usually pasta will increase to twice its size by being cooked. For 6lbs uncooked, I would estimate 3lbs raw. A cup is a measurement of volume, and a pound is a measurement of weight so, the conversion between the two will vary.. 1lb (450g) butter or margarine = 2 cups (or four sticks). 1lb (450g) flour = 4 cups. 1lb 450 g, granulated or caster, (superfine), sugar = 2 cups. 1lb 450 g, icing sugar (confectioners' sugar) = 3 cups.
