Pasta expands significantly when it is cooked. The ratio of dry pasta to cooked pasta can vary depending on the type of pasta, but a general rule of thumb is that one cup of dry pasta yields about two to three cups of cooked pasta.
The cooking time and water temperature also affect how much the pasta expands. Typically, al dente pasta (cooked until it has a slight bite) will have a different expansion ratio compared to overcooked pasta.
