That's really not helpful, it should state whether its dried or cooked weight!

Tip for pasta measuring: Hubby thinks that half an ordinary sized mug of dried pasta is about right for one person. You end up with enough pasta to cover a dinner plate with only a slight heaping in the middle. And for rice, he thinks that about a mug full of dried rice is enough for a person - though I find three-quarters is about right for me. Does this help any?
