It' s a subjective question.
A serving size is typically considered to be 1/2 cup of cooked pasta.
The USDA recommends 6 - 11 servings per day of grains (including pasta)
with 3 meals per day containing grains then 1 - 3 cups could be considered per meal, but this is dependent on the size and activity level of the person eating it as well. A portion size is not a serving size. A small person weighing 120 lbs. may only have a portion size of 2-3 servings or 1 - 1.5 cups, where as a professional football player weighing 250 lbs. might eat a portion of 6 servings or 3 cups per meal.
Typically, when I make pasta, I expect a person to eat approximately 2 cups If it is a main dish and 1 cup if it is a side dish. I hope this helps.
