how many cups is 250g of dried pasta??

Question

I need to no how many cups of dried pasta equals to 250g of dried pasta, and the same for tomarto sauce! The recipe says to use 250g of sauce and 250g of dried pasta but i do not have any scales!
(Austrailan measurments please)

Answer 1

When measuring water, one 250ml cup will weigh 250g. When using liquids this is a guide but its basically right. So one cup sauce would be close to 250g.



Other things can differ completely.

Most pasta in australia come in 500g packets so half a packet or about two handfuls should be fine. maybe three if large pasta.



If anyone uses the one cup weighs 250g for everything, just think how much space 250g of fairy floss would take up? Doesn't work does it.

Answer 2

Pasta Cup

Answer 3

250g is a standard size cup/small mug....like you drink your tea/coffee out of....so 250 grams of small pasta would be one cup full. It will be harder to measure the larger pasta, like shells, but a "good rule of thumb" I use with any loose pasta is two hands full per person. [I am female so not enormous hands..lol] I don't have details of your recipe but an equal amount of the sauce sounds like too much - however if you have any left over you can always freeze it. Happy cooking!

Answer 4

250g equals 1 cup

Answer 5

What is the size of the pasta?The bigger it it, the more cups you need. Describe the pasta and I tell you.

Answer 6

easiest thing to do is use half a bag of penne and use three quarters of the jar of sauce. Kaye
