I use a plastic Coke bottle to get the perfect size portion of pasta. For adults, use a 2 liter plastic bottle, fill it until there is no room left at the mouth of the bottle. This will give you a nice hearty portion, and you won't waste anything.

I would cut the top area off and discard the bottle part. Nice tip, though.
I always cook more than I need and freeze the leftovers for a single easy meal, if I happen to be home alone. You can microwave it or dip it in hot water.
