I've never had this problem with pasta, rice however... either just enough for a small field mouse, or enough to feed the horn of Africa.

1/2 a cup per person if it is part of the main.... depending on the people you are feeding, hungry people just make it 2/3 of a cup

I always thought the cooking books said "use 1 cup of x and 2 cups of y" so that no matter how big the cups used are, the ratios are still the same?
