Is that 2oz Dry weight, Losec? Pasta cooked and pasta dry is two very different things - 2oz dry will give you quite a bit more when its cooked. Also, don't think in terms of cups / oz. One measures weight, the other volume. 2 oz of cheese and 2oz of spinach would not fill the same amout in a measuring cup, if that anology helps any

Mario, The 2 ounces is weight, not volume. 2 ounces cooked might be 1/2 cup or 1 cup, you really need to weigh to be sure. I doubt you had 2400 calories in pasta, but it might have been 1200!

I hope you enjoyed it!
