SIZING UP PASTA

Two ounces (just over 1/2 cup dry) short pasta such as elbow macaroni, shells, or spirals will yield 1 cup cooked pasta.

Two ounces long pasta (1/2″ diameter bunch dry) such as spaghetti, angel hair, or linguine will make 1 cup cooked pasta.

Two ounces uncooked medium egg noodles will yield 1/2 cup cooked pasta.
