Infographic: Pasta and Rice Conversions

The recipes here are keto/low carb, low glycemic, diabetic, high proteins, high fibers, gluten free, dairy free, nut free, and regular diet indulgences. I also have a collection of vegan, vegetarian, and paleo diet recipes.

subheading: PASTA CONVERSIONS & EQUIVALENTS:

1 pound dried pasta (16 oz.) serves 4 to 5 people

2 ounces long pastas yields 1 cup pasta cooked

2 ounces short pastas yields 1 ¼ cups cooked

2 ounces soup pastas yields about ⅔ cup to 1 cups cooked

2 ounces shells yields about 1 cups cooked

1 pound dried pasta equals 4 cups dry pasta

1 cup of dry pasta yields about 2 cups of cooked pasta

1 pound of dry pasta yields about 8 cups of cooked pasta

2 ounces (1 cup) dry egg noodles yields about 1 cup egg noodles cooked

Like pasta servings, this depends on if you are you serving it as a side dish or as the main dish with other ingredients added to it. It also depends on who you are serving it to. And then it depends on who you ask.

Many recipes I see call for about 1 cup of cooked rice per serving. Some dietitians as well as the USDA say this is too much and you should only eat ½ cup cooked rice per serving. I think that unless you are on a special diet, somewhere in the middle works fine.

In our house, since we are always using leftovers for the girls lunches, so we usually cook more than we are going to serve for dinner and portion out what “feels” right for each kid.

subheading: RICE TO LIQUID RATIO:

The most common ratio for rice to liquid is 1 to 2 or 1 cup rice to 2 cups of water which will yield 3 cups cooked rice. The formula is simple: 1 to 2-3.

So if you were cooking 2 cups of rice, you would cook it with 4 cups of liquid to yield 6 cups of cooked rice.

I’m saying liquid here and not water even though most people cook their rice in water because you can try cooking your rice in chicken or vegetable stock for extra flavor.

subheading: RICE CONVERSIONS & EQUIVALENTS:

1 cup uncooked white rice yields 3 cups of cooked white rice

1 cup brown whole grain rice yields 4 cups of cooked rice

1 cup long grain rice yields 3 cups cooked rice

1 cup uncooked wild rice yields 3 cups cooked wild rice
