When it comes to Free Press Test Kitchen recipes, we would indicate “2 cups cooked pasta” if we wanted you to use cooked pasta. Usually, we would specify 2 cups (or 8 ounces or 1 pound, depending on the quantity required) of pasta if we wanted you to use dry pasta. Additionally, we would include cooking instructions, such as “cooked according to package directions,” for the pasta. Additionally, if cooking instructions are provided, it indicates that dry pasta is used.
The benefit of adding salt to the water is straightforward: it enhances the flavor of the pasta by seasoning it. Additionally, it’s usually a good idea to save some of the pasta cooking water to use in a sauce, if desired. Because the water contains starch from the pasta, it will also help thicken the sauce if necessary. The reserved pasta water will help season the sauce.

For example, I wanted to use vermicelli as my pasta, so how do you measure two cups of uncooked pasta? In Grosse Pointe Park, what is two cups of dry vermicelli? — Vince Romano
