I can certainly weigh out 90g of dry spaghettini (a little thinner than spaghetti), but if I am not cooking my pasta in a separate pot than the rest of my family's, then once I have cooked the whole pot, how do I know how much 90 g is? Maybe 3/4 of a cup? That's my guess. It obviously does not weigh the same cooked as it does dried. I have googled this and can't seem to get an answer. Anyone know?

    I think pasta is meant to double in size when cooked. I know the pasta i buy has a bit on the back to tell you what a dry measure will be cooked.

    It's probably a cup or so.The stuff is super cheap, so why don't you measure out the 90 gram, then cook it and voila, you will have a visual and exact measure for next time.
