hey everybody,
right ive just made myself some pasta but im confused! ive got some dried pasta twirls and with the NV's on the back it works out as 5 points per 100g's but doesnt state if that a dried weight or a once it cooked weight. i then decided to look in my WW book and the basics bit at the front says, pasta-anytype cooked 150g =2 pts.

so im not sure which to believe!!!

help

Suz, It is 2 points for 150g cooked pasta. This is about 40g dried. So 100g of dried pasta would be around 5 points. I hope that helps. Lovely to see you back!

Hi, I'm being really blonde here lol. Does dried pasta mean before you cook it? I have the WW scales and it says pasta any type dried to point it does this mean uncooked? lol

thanks xx
