  • These figures use the US cup (240 ml). A metric cup is slightly larger at 250 ml, so it holds a little more. Use the metric cup converter →
  • Cup sizes are not standard worldwide, so the same cup of an ingredient can weigh more or less depending on the country. What is a cup measurement →
  • These figures are for dry, uncooked penne. Cooked, it roughly doubles in volume as the tubes fill with water, so one cup of dry penne yields close to two cups cooked. Weigh dry for the most reliable result.

Penne is a straight tube pasta cut on an angle at each end, popular in baked pasta dishes, arrabbiata, and creamy sauces. One metric cup (250 ml) of dry penne weighs around 110 grams or 3.88 ounces. When a recipe gives penne in cups but you are scooping from a bag, converting by weight keeps the portion right.

Penne tubes are long and hollow, so they pile into a cup unevenly with large gaps. Weighing in grams sidesteps that guesswork and gives you the same portion every time.
