About dry pasta measurements
With dry pasta, shape rules the weight far more than any density figure (a rough 0.42 g/ml, about 100 g per cup). A cup of penne, elbow macaroni, and snapped spaghetti each hold wildly different amounts, since the pieces stack and gap in completely different ways — weigh it whenever you can.
