Preparation
Dry pasta is 371 kcal per 100 g; boiled, it absorbs water and roughly doubles in weight, so the same pasta reads around 160 kcal per 100 g cooked. Nothing is lost in the water except a trace of starch. The oil in the pot is the exception: a tablespoon adds 120 kcal to the batch, mostly poured down the sink with the water.
Logging this food
Weigh dry if you can — 2 oz (57 g, 211 kcal) is the box's serving and a modest plate; 100 g dry (371 kcal) is a normal home portion. If the pasta is already cooked, use the cooked row and weigh it drained. Restaurant plates are typically 150–200 g dry equivalent, 550–740 kcal before sauce.
Swaps and alternatives
Whole-wheat pasta has almost the same calories as white; the difference is fibre. Lentil or chickpea pasta is close in calories with double the protein. The real saving is in the sauce and the portion: 100 g dry pasta with tomato sauce is about 450 kcal, with a cream sauce closer to 700.
