I was wondering if anyone had a food scale and they knew how many rigatoni noodles were in a serving? I don't have one and desperately want to know how many are a serving or approximately so I can count out my meals but I have no reference point whatsoever. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I''m basically looking for the number of noodles per serving.

    If you don't have a scale, estimate with a measuring cup based on what the package says. Measure it dry.

    After it is cooked a serving of rigatoni will be 1 cup (not leveled so a little on top is ok). spagetti noddles are just under 1 cup (shouldn't be touching the brim of the cup). Hope this helps

    If you want the most perfectest answer, and you have an entire box of rigatoni in front of you, count the contents of the box and divide by the number of servings in the box.

    Thanks =) it doesn't say in a measuring cup amount, only in ounces, which is why I wanted help :) Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll try the 1 cup of rigatoni.

    I don't have a scale, so this is what I do. It doesn't take much time, and I prefer it to an eyeball estimate.
