Pasta with vegetables, no sauce or dressing calories: 216 per 1 cup (150 g)
This exact USDA record reports 216 calories for 1 cup (150 g). That answer belongs to this description and weight; it is not a universal value for every meal that shares the name.

The editorial read
The useful answer has a weight, a composition, and an identity
Portion: the cited record reports about 216 calories for 1 cup at 150 grams. On a fixed-weight basis, the same record contains 144 calories per 100 grams. The first number answers a portion question; the second answers a concentration question.
Composition: that source amount also reports 6.7 g protein, 3.5 g fiber, and 222 mg sodium. Read those values together: a calorie total by itself cannot describe the nutrient profile.
Identity: the largest listed formulation input is pasta, cooked, enriched, without added salt, representing 64.6% of the record’s listed input weight. The record contains 6 source-input rows in all. These are provenance for a standardized calculation, not a recipe for your plate.
The source calls its underlying survey portion “Quantity not specified,” but it separately lists 1 cup at the identical weight. We use the familiar household label here without changing the source calculation.
Record-specific decision brief
What the numbers say—and what choice still belongs to you
This analysis belongs to USDA FDC 2708827: “Pasta with vegetables, no sauce or dressing.” It separates gram-weight arithmetic, corpus context, label signals, and record selection so one number does not have to answer four different questions.
01 · Portion arithmetic
Three weights, one fixed composition
For FDC 2708827, each row multiplies the published per-100-gram values by its stated weight. “75% of the reference weight” through “125% of the reference weight” are weight scenarios: named measures come from USDA, while percentage labels are transparent arithmetic.
| Scenario | Weight | Energy | Protein | Fiber | Sodium |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 75% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 112.5 g | 162 kcal | 5 g | 2.6 g | 167 mg |
| 1 cupUSDA-listed household measure | 150 g | 216 kcal | 6.7 g | 3.5 g | 222 mg |
| 125% of the reference weightArithmetic scenario from the reference weight | 187.5 g | 270 kcal | 8.4 g | 4.3 g | 278 mg |

The comparison set contains 169 exact records in the Pasta mixed dishes, excludes macaroni and cheese USDA category. Here, “middle half” describes FDC 2708827’s energy position in that corpus—not nutritional quality, desirability, or a health rating.

03 · FDA label lens
The strongest strength-side and tradeoff-side signals
At FDC 2708827’s 150 g reference weight, the largest strength-side percentage among the nutrients evaluated here is Vitamin A; the larger tradeoff-side percentage is Sodium. Percentages use FDA label Daily Values, whose general “high” guide begins at 20% Daily Value. This is not an overall score or a personalized target.
Strength-side signals
Vitamin A160.5 µg
≈ 18% DV. This does not cross the FDA’s 20% ‘high’ guide.
Vitamin C12 mg

04 · Highest-impact checks
The three levers most worth resolving first
For “Pasta with vegetables, no sauce or dressing,” the first-pass checks follow the evidence actually published: its named weights, the FDC 2708858 alternative, and its source-formulation identity.
- 01
Portion sensitivity around 150 g
A 25% weight move in either direction spans 112.5–187.5 g. When composition is held constant, those endpoints calculate to 162 kcal and 270 kcal.
- 02
Record choice: compare with FDC 2708858
At an equal 100 g, this record has 371 mg less sodium than “Pasta with cream sauce and added vegetables, restaurant.” That is a record-level contrast; it does not identify which ingredient caused the difference.
- 03
Formulation anchor: Pasta, cooked, enriched, without added salt
The source formulation has 6 input rows; Pasta, cooked, enriched, without added salt supplies 64.6% of listed input weight. Those are standardized formulation inputs, not final plated percentages.
05 · Exact-record choice
Select by literal evidence, not the shortest name
Keep this record when “no sauce or dressing” fits. Inspect FDC 2708858 when “restaurant” is the more literal description of the food and preparation.

Exact-record context
What makes this USDA record distinct?
For FDC 2708827, the close-record rule searches the USDA “Pasta mixed dishes, excludes macaroni and cheese” category for shared description terms or source inputs. Any surviving pair is compared per 100 grams, so unlike source-serving sizes cannot manufacture the nutrient difference.

Plain-English read
At the fixed 100-gram basis, this record lists 47 less calories, 7.1 g more carbohydrate, and 8.9 g less total fat than “Pasta with cream sauce and added vegetables, restaurant.”
Only this record lists Vegetables, mixed, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Broccoli, cooked, as ingredient; Carrots, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt. Only the comparison record lists Alfredo sauce with added vegetables. Those formulation rows identify different source records; they do not prove which input caused a nutrient difference.
5 of the six displayed differences clear the documented materiality screen. It is a reading aid, not a health rating.
Formulation evidence
The listed formulations differ
The formulation rows differ, but the source data do not isolate which component caused any nutrient difference. Input weights describe the standardized formulation—not final plated proportions.
Shared listed inputs: Pasta, cooked, enriched, without added salt; Vegetable oil, NFS; Salt, table.
Listed only in this record: Vegetables, mixed, frozen, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt; Broccoli, cooked, as ingredient; Carrots, cooked, boiled, drained, without salt.

Uncertainty, made actionable
What can change this estimate?
This is a standardized USDA survey-food profile, not a measurement of every preparation. Actual nutrition can change with amount served, cooked-to-dry ratio, sauce or mix-ins, added fat.
For “Pasta with vegetables, no sauce or dressing,” resolve amount served first, then move through the remaining 3 published levers. Unknowns should remain visible rather than expanding every assumption at once.
- 01
amount served
When composition is held constant, nutrient totals scale directly with grams. A 20% weight correction produces the same 20% correction to the scaled totals.
- 02
cooked-to-dry ratio
Match the food state before matching the number. Cooking, draining, or added liquid can change grams and concentration even when the food name barely changes.
- 03
sauce or mix-ins
Check whether the exact source description already includes it. If not, keep the addition separate rather than silently folding it into the base record.
- 04
added fat
Match the named cooking-fat state when possible. Fat used, retained, or left behind is preparation information that a dish name alone cannot recover.
How we estimated this
The arithmetic is simple; the provenance is the point
FDC 2708827 comes from FoodData Central Survey Foods (FNDDS). Its 144 kcal per 100 g becomes 216 kcal at 150 g through nutrient per portion = nutrient per 100 g × portion grams ÷ 100; this page adds no second nutrition estimate.
About the serving label: USDA describes the underlying survey portion as “Quantity not specified.” The separately listed 1 cup has the same gram weight, so the familiar label can be shown without changing the calculation.
Data cycle: 2021–2023, published October 31, 2024
FoodData Central ID: 2708827
FNDDS food code: 58146160
The scaling for FDC 2708827 can be exact while the match to “Pasta with vegetables, no sauce or dressing” is wrong. That is why this profile keeps its 150 g weight, 6-row source formulation, and selection uncertainty beside the arithmetic.
