mini wheat and oat pasta twists

Hello everyone!
Hope everyone is well!

I have found this pasta I use for my lunches mixed with some salad. The calories are a bit confusing I'm not sure whether to use dry weight or cooked weight.

The bag contains 500g and states that the bag contains 10 servings, so I have being weighing 50g dry pasta and cooking that. But this only has 70 cals.. Is this too good to be true?
Here is a link to it: http://groceries.asda.com/asda-webstore/landing/home.shtml#/product/910000786062

Any insight would be appreciated :-)

the nutrition facts SHOULD be per dry weight; some people like over-saturated/squishy noodles, and some like al dente, so the weight of cooked would vary too much. 50 grams sounds about right for a serving size; approx 2oz. most of the dried beans and pastas I use are based off a 50-ish gram weight.

Checked the math and it looks correct to me. Agreeing with the above poster - use the dry weight. If cooking more than one serving, weigh it before and then weigh it after cooking. Split it up by the number of servings you weighed out initially.
