    You cannot compare size and weight. So either you need to find one that has it in size, or you need to weigh your spaghetti.

    2 ounces of dry pasta is about 1 cup cooked...

    I asked this question awhile ago and Shorerider gave me a link to the National Pasta Association (ilovepasta.com)...check out their FAQs...I am pasting what they said below but it gets kind of jumbled...it's much easier to read on their actual page...

    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
