How many cups of pasta equals a lb?
That depends on the pasta. Some pasta is quite light and made in hollow shapes, ie Farfalle, Lumache and Conchigli. These tend to weigh about 100 grams or less per cup. Going up we have rigate, penne and radiatori , these are denser and in more solid shapes. These run about 130 - 160 grams per cup. Finally, the heavy varieties like spaghettini and linguini - if you bunch these together ans stand upright in a cup the will be 220 -235 grams per cup.
