1 ounce of spaghetti is equal to a 1/2 cup of cooked spaghetti

Joseph Joseph 3.5-in. Spaghetti Measure, Red/Grey   This original and innovative compact spaghetti measure provides an adjustable portion guide for one to four servings. The lever glides along the side of the disc, opening the aperture to control the portion sizes.
