For rice it tends to be how much you like. Going by your 3 and a bit handfuls for pasta, I would say a 3/4 cup would be plenty, little bit less would be if going as an accompianment, a little bit more of being part of main dish. If you use a cup to measure it then it is easier to gauge how much more or less to add next time.
