  • A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon. A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

  • One metric tablespoon of macaroni weighs about 6.9 grams. A US tablespoon (14.79 ml) holds about 6.8 grams and an Australian tablespoon (20 ml) about 9.2 grams.
  • Over about 150 g of macaroni is more than a cup, so a cup measure is quicker than counting out tablespoons. One metric cup of macaroni is 16.67 tablespoons and weighs 115 g. Use the cups converter instead →
  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.
  • These figures are for dry, uncooked macaroni. Cooked, it roughly doubles in volume as the tubes soak up water, so one cup of dry macaroni yields close to two cups cooked. Weigh dry for the most reliable result.

Macaroni is a short, curved tube pasta, the backbone of mac and cheese, pasta bakes, and cold pasta salads. One metric cup (250 ml) of dry macaroni weighs around 115 grams or 4.06 ounces. When a recipe lists macaroni in cups but you are working from a bag and scales, converting by weight keeps the portion right.

Dry macaroni tubes pack loosely in a cup with plenty of air between them, so the gram weight shifts with how the cup is filled. Weighing in grams gives you a consistent portion every time, batch after batch.
