How many cups is 6 ounces of dried pasta?

* Density: Different pasta shapes have different densities. A cup of penne will weigh more than a cup of angel hair pasta.

* Packaging: Dried pasta packages usually list the weight in ounces, not the volume in cups.

To figure out how many cups you need, you can use the following:

1. Check the Package: Most pasta packages will list a conversion on the side, indicating how many ounces are in a cup of that particular type of pasta.

2. Use a Measuring Cup: If your package doesn't have a conversion, measure out 6 ounces of pasta using a kitchen scale and then pour it into a measuring cup. This will give you the approximate cup volume.

Remember: It's usually more accurate to measure pasta by weight, especially if you're following a recipe.
