Pasta Serving
Measure dry and cooked pasta for a group of servings.
About Pasta Serving
Dry pasta is scaled per serving, then the cooked multiplier converts it to the weight that actually reaches the plate. Dry to cooked weight changes by shape and cooking time, so multiplying keeps portions honest for a group.
Formula
Pasta Serving
Total dry = servings x per-serving; cooked = dry x multiplier
- cooked multiplier
- Pasta roughly more than doubles in weight when boiled
