Successful Pasta Substitutions

  • Uncooked dried pasta of similar shapes can be interchanged in recipes if it's measured by weight, not by volume. Check packages for weight, or use a kitchen scale.
  • Cooked pasta can be substituted cup for cup. One (8-ounce) package dry pasta yields about 4 cups cooked pasta.
