How many cups is 14 oz of dry pasta?

You can't directly convert ounces of dry pasta to cups. This is because the density of different pasta shapes varies.

Here's a better way to measure dry pasta:

1. Use the package directions: Most pasta packages indicate the number of cups of dry pasta needed per serving.

2. Use a measuring cup: A 1-cup measuring cup is the most accurate way to measure dry pasta.

Approximate Equivalents:

* Short Pasta (like elbow macaroni): 14 oz of dry pasta is roughly equivalent to 6-7 cups.

* Long Pasta (like spaghetti): 14 oz of dry pasta is roughly equivalent to 5-6 cups.

Remember: These are estimates. The best way to ensure accurate portioning is to follow the package instructions or use a measuring cup.
