How to Measure a Portion of Pasta

I get this question all the time. That 2-oz. portion does refer to the dry, uncooked noodles... which isn't all that helpful when you're trying to figure out how much cooked pasta you can have for the calorie count on the label! We did a full-scale investigation of this last year, and came up with some GREAT info. And since you (and lots of others!) are still baffled by pasta portions, I'm rerunning our findings here and now...

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. .........
