the depends on the pasta. for smaller pastas like macaroni, rotini, and elbow noodles, its about a cup.
edit: that would be 1 cup cooked0 -
No problem girl I do the same thing all the time....8 ounces is a cup so 2 oz should be 1/4 cup.
But I might be wrong too haha :laugh:0 -
There is weight oz and liquid oz. Is the 2 oz cooked or raw? You could googe weight conversions and you should be able to find a site that will help you figure it ou.0

I said that to myself 8oz is a cup 4 oz is half cup 20z 1/4 yea lol0 -
2 oz serving of pasta is by weight. You will need a scale to get an exact serving. However after you cook it will be approx. 1 cup cooked depending on the type of pasta it is.0

OK so I have just relaized with this info I have been severly underestimating my calorie intake, I have pasta like 3 to 4 times a week! Maybe this is why I have stalled in my weight loss, I haven't been eating enough!0

Daisy,
I was worried about doing the same thing, so I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and bought a simple food scale. Now I can weigh stuff beforehand, and don't have to guess. I think the scale cost about $20.0 -

Fluid ounces and ounces are not the same! 2 ounces in a measure of weight, 8 fluid ounces is a measure of liquid- they aren't the same thing!0 -

2 ounces dry cooks up to one cup! It absorbs water and swells up in the cooking process. there is a cool little kitchen tool I use for spaghetti noodles! if you can pass the noodles through the hole the size of a quarter,before cooking, that is one portion! On most pasta bags or boxes it tells you how many portions in the box/bag. measure it out that way since size and shape effect how it fits in a cup too! Good going on the plan Shanta! you are banging it out!0

i got my scale for $5 at target for the sole purpose of measuring out pasta (and the occasional cheese)0

Made some today. Along with some homemade sauce (Thanks to my pop). It was delicious! :bigsmile:0

Cooked it
And it was 1 cup cooked
I love me some pasta!!:flowerforyou:0
