Hi Puzzled, Great question! The weight listed on nutritional panels is almost always for the product as it's packaged. In the case of pasta, that 2-oz. Portion refers to the dry, uncooked noodles. As for figuring out serving sizes, we decided to do some investigating. So we broke out our trusty kitchen scales and measuring cups, and here's what we found. What we tested: Three varieties - penne, elbow macaroni, and spaghetti - all cooked al dente.

Servings per container: While the nutritional panels stated the boxes contained 'about 7 servings,' we found that they contained closer to 6 servings. What does this mean?
Simply dividing the box into portions according to the approximate 'servings per container' won't necessarily give you the correct serving size. Cooked measurements: We got down to it and found that a single 2-oz.
Serving of the dry penne cooked up to a heaping cup. Both the cooked spaghetti and the elbow mac measured in at a scant cup per serving. Dry measurements: Wanna cook up a single serving of pasta but don't feel like busting out the food scale? Serving of uncooked elbow macaroni comes to just shy of 1/2 cup. The same amount of dry penne measures in at a little more than 1/2 cup. Good to know! There's no easy cup measurement for uncooked spaghetti, but there are some out there!

Bottom line: Pasta generally doubles in size when it cooks, and a cup of cooked pasta is a good ballpark for a single serving size!
