I am trying to input a recipe into the MFP database but Im a little stuck on the pasta measurements. Im using half a box of whole wheat rotini (which comes to about 6 oz dry) so what exactly would that be in cups when it is cooked?

I know this may seem like a simple question, but if someone would help me out, id really appreciate it :happy:

    Pasta is usually 2oz by weight (dry) = 1 cup by volume (cooked). May be a little more or less depending on the brand, pasta shape, etc. Most pastas have between 160-220 per 1 cup cooked, again depending on brand, pasta shape, etc. So you should have approximately 3 cups cooked/3 servings.

    Or you can just look for an option that says "cooked." It's probably there.
