New Pasta Ideas and Substitutions

A standard box of pasta will list a serving as 2 ounces. This translates to 1 cup of cooked pasta. We have used a 1 ounce dry measurement, or ½ cup cooked for this chart.

Substitutes for Flour in Recipes

Whether or not you can use a different type of flour will depend on the function of the flour in the recipe. If the flour is used as a thickener, it can be difficult to substitute. Starch is what provides the thickening properties. You could experiment with using less of the flour, therefore having a thinner final product.

If the flour is a breading, used to provide some interesting flavor and crunch, go ahead and substitute. Almond flour, coconut flour or whole wheat flour will add something different to the recipe.
