There is plenty of discussion on this matter, with units such as ounces, cups, Fahrenheit, buschels and microfortnights bandied around. But not one answer that had the simple dimensionless ratio I was looking for.
So its off to the lab (... well kitchen ...) to do an experiment:
- 100g fusilli (Lids finest)
- 500ml water
- Bring to boil and boil for 10 minutes
- Strain pasta
- Weigh pasta
So what is this magic ratio? Well, this is not an exact science. Obviously al dente pasta is going to be lighter than over cooked. And its probable that the topology of the pasta will have some influence on its ability to retain water. Pasta topologies with lots of surface area and enclosed spaces (eg pasta shells) are going to have more water clinging to the surface. These are experiments for another day.
Anyhow, as for fusilli, the cooked weight of 100g of dry pasta after 10 minutes boiling was 208g. So the weight ratio of dry pasta to cooked pasta is

1 : 2.1
