So, I finally got tired of guessing if I was measuring my spaghetti correctly and I decided to weigh my own portion separately from my family's portion and then cook it separately to see how much it would come out to when cooked.

85 grams of dry spaghetti (Canada) equals 2 cups of cooked spaghetti.

Any of the different types of spaghetti that we use in our house always say 85 grams of dry product = whatever the information is on the packaging for calories, etc.

I plan on doing this for macaroni, fettucini, etc. I will post those results in this thread as I figure them out. I think it will be 2 cups for everything, but I could be wrong!

I will keep you all posted :)
