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.

Is this dry or cooked macaroni?

To be sure which a recipe means, check whether it says dry or cooked.
