Question on Pasta

kkova811

I had a quick question about pasta. When I was figuring out my calories for the day I realized that I had used the calories from 1/2 a cup of uncooked pasta. Now, I know pasta expands when you cook it, but is it as much as rice? How much cooked pasta does 1/2 a cup of uncooked pasta yield? I assumed 1/2 a cup uncooked was about 1 cup cooked but now Im not sure. Thanks guys

I know that 2 oz of Angel Hair pasta equals 6oz cooked. I'm not sure cup wise though

The calories for pasta are determined by the uncooked weight. Typically, 1 cup or 2 oz of uncooked pasta is a serving.

1/2 cup cooked (1 oz dry) is about 100 calories.
