∙ 9y agoAccording to the National Pasta Association , 8 ounces of uncooked long pasta, such as spaghetti will yield 4 cups of cooked pasta. Thus, a "serving" of 2 oz. uncooked spaghetti will be the nutritional equivalent of 1 cup of cooked spaghetti.

Pasta about doubles in size once cooked, so if you need 2c I suggest boiling a little over 1c of pasta.
One pound of dry pasta equals 2.5 pounds of cooked pasta.
No less than 1 quart.
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
1lb, the difference in cooked and uncooked weight will be small.
Fresh pasta doesn't swell much at all. In fact if you are cooking a homemade pasta recipe made from scratch you should only cook it about 1-3 minutes. The best way to tell if it's done is when it begins to float to the top of the boiling water.
Depends on the kind of pasta, all are different.
About 2. Just cook some, and see how many cups you have filled once it is cooked?
100g of dried pasta makes about 240g of cooked pasta. So roughly 40g
To get 2C of cooked pasta, the rule of thumb is to use half of what you need in dry pasta. Therefore, you would need about 1C dry pasta to get 2C of cooked pasta.Another measure would be weight, where the rule of thumb is that 2oz dry pasta makes about 1C of cooked pasta. Therefore, you would need 4oz dry to get 2C cooked pasta.
Nmae the pasta, all are different density.
Because pasta packages the suggested serving size is two ounces per person, you would need at least 300 ounces for 150 people. This translates into 18.75 pounds of pasta. However, to have enough, it may be wise to cook 20 pounds of dry pasta. A typical package of dry pasta contains 16 ounces or a pound.
