    I always forget to measure and the box says "before" cooking...So I double the serving and leave some on my plate. It's not scientific, but that's what I do!

    This should help!!...so basially 2 ounces of pasta = 1 cup cooked.

    Dry Pasta vs. Cooked Pasta Measurements

    8 oz. uncooked small to medium pasta shapes = 4 cups cooked
    Examples: Elbow macaroni, Medium Shells, Rotini, Twists, Spirals, Wagon Wheels, Bow Ties, Mostaccioli, Penne, Ziti, Radiatore, Rigatoni
    8 oz. uncooked long pasta shapes or a 1 1/2-inch diameter bunch = 4 cups cooked
    Examples: Spaghetti, Angel Hair, Linguine, Vermicelli, Fettuccine
    8 oz. uncooked egg noodles = 2 1/2 cups cooked
