The smallest unit of measurement is 1/16 of an inch. When you look at a ruler and count all the lines between the 1 inch and 2 inch marks you will see that there are 16 lines all together.
A single serving of pasta is generally regarded as 2 oz. (57 g) of cooked pasta for a first course or side dish. A serving can be raised 3 to 4 oz. (85 to 113 g) if it is the only course. Occasionally a serving is approximated as 1/2 cup (114 g) of pasta; however, this depends upon the shape of the pasta.
Pasta Serving Size. Firstly, how much pasta you need to cook depends on a number of factorsâwhether you are cooking a main course or a side dish, the type of pasta you are cooking, and how hungry your guests are. Pasta Per Person: The Rule. Dried pasta: 75-115 g / 3-4 oz. Fresh pasta: 115-150 g / 4-5 oz. Filled pasta (like ravioli): 175-200 g / 6-7 oz. Because dried pasta hasn't absorbed the water yet, simply pour it into the bowl you will serve it in and fill it just below the point at which you want your cooked pasta serving to reach.
