2 oz dry pasta equals how many cups?

However, this can vary slightly depending on the pasta shape. Here's a general guide:

* Long pasta (spaghetti, linguine, etc.): 2 oz = 1/2 cup

* Short pasta (penne, elbow macaroni, etc.): 2 oz = slightly less than 1/2 cup

* Large pasta (shells, rotini, etc.): 2 oz = slightly more than 1/2 cup

It's always a good idea to check the package directions for the specific pasta you're using for the most accurate measurement.
