I'm not sure what the recipe writer meant. But 2 lb of dry pasta sounds like a big amount - it will serve 10 or more. Maybe start with 1 lb dry, see how much volume that cooks up to, then add more if you want.
Who knows?! Or maybe just a typo. Let each person cook with a starter pasta amount they like, and add more as needed. Or, locate a similar recipe and compare.
I think you're correct. Two cups should be the correction. (Can someone do this?) It could be a wonky self-correction effort by the person's computer, you know, and the contributor didn't manually proof-check it. Thank you very much.
Oh no, my guess is that "cakes" is a typo here. Maybe 2 pounds small pasta shells? Seems like the recipe yields a lot, so I'm betting 2 pounds of pasta is correct.
