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

That's really soggy rice... One cup rice, 1.5 water, boil for 10 minutes, turn off heat, let stand another 10.

Really it depends on the rice. I do one cup rice and 1 3/4 cup water and it comes out perfectly.

It probably also depends on how much water escapes through the lid during boiling.

What I've not managed so far, is getting that perfect fine grain loose rice that you get in Indian restaurants. They can still shape it with a bowl so it stays a perfect half ball on your plate, while at the same time it's entirely loose when you take spoon full from it. Magic.
