How many cups of rotini pasta is a pound?

However, this can vary slightly depending on the brand and how you cook the pasta.

Here's a breakdown:

* Dry pasta: 1 pound of dry rotini is approximately 4 cups.

* Cooked pasta: When cooked, the pasta will absorb water and expand, roughly doubling in volume. This is why 1 pound of dry rotini yields about 8 cups of cooked pasta.

Important note: This is just an estimate. The best way to know for sure is to follow the cooking instructions on the pasta package. Most packages list the number of servings and the amount of dry pasta needed.
