Question: how many grams is a portion of pasta?
Answer: In general, for small-to-medium-shaped (macaroni, penne, fusilli) and long-shaped pasta (spaghetti, linguini, fettuccine), 56 grams dry weight (about ½ cup) yields one cup (250 ml) of cooked pasta. For small portions, for a starter, allow 50g dried or 90g fresh pasta per person.
