    always dry, normally it's around 350cal/100g

    if you boil xxx grams weight it cooked, compare to the dry weight, work out the dry to wet factor and then portion accordingly.

    any package of pasta I've ever looked at lists a serving as 2 oz dry...meaning you would weigh that out before you cooked it.

    I eat all the pasta and rice I can, but this kind of thread is why I don't own a kitchen scale. (And since I'm the only person on this site that eyeballing portions seems to have worked for, I'm gonna duck and run now...)
