Yes, same here. When we're cooking for ourselves, we user 2
oz by weight of dried pasta per person in any of our standard
pasta dishes. Note that we include a lot of vegetables also
(squash, peppers etc.) so that makes a quite large bowl of
pasta per person.

Yep, that's how we do it. Two ounces per person, weighed on a not
terribly accurate but close enough kitchen scale.

I weigh the dry pasta on my scale, too. We use 1 ounce per person. It's
plenty. It keeps the carb count manageable for DH's diabetes and the
calorie count down for me.
