Pasta Measurements from The NPA (National Pasta Association)

I know that we all have trouble trying to find the correct measurement on cooked pasta and I came across this on the National Pasta Association website and thought I would share.

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 pasta

Uncooked weight = Cooked amount



Small to medium pasta shapes
(Elbow Macaroni, Medium Shells, Rotini, Twists, Spirals,
Wagon Wheels, Bow Ties, Mostaccioli, Penne, Radiatore, Rigatoni) 8 oz. uncooked = 4 cups cooked



Long pasta shapes
(Spaghetti, Angel Hair, Linguine, Vermicelli, Fettuccine) 8 oz. uncooked or 1 1/2 inch diameter bunch = 4 cups cooked



Egg Noodles 8 oz. uncooked = 2 1/2 cups cooked
