When a recipe gives penne in cups but you are scooping from a bag, converting by weight keeps the portion right. Every figure here is for dry, uncooked penne; to see how much it makes once boiled, use the cooked pasta converter below.

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.

Is this dry or cooked penne?
The weights on this page are for dry, uncooked penne straight from the bag, the way most recipes list it.

If a recipe is unclear, check whether it specifies dry or cooked.
