Pasta
Categories: Processed foods | Food
From personal experience, one serving of dried pasta is about 100 grams [1]. Some sources say that a serving is just 57 grams [2], but this might refer to the case when pasta is served as a first course, as is common in Italian restaurants, rather than as a main course. With an emission factor of ~1.5 kg CO2e / kg, these 100 grams amount to about 0.15 kg CO2e / portion.
Pasta approximately doubles in weight when cooked al dente [3], so a serving of cooked pasta is about 200 grams.
