Most "official" U.S. sources will tell you that a serving size of pasta for a single adult is 1/2 cup (4 oz.) So, your 1.5 pounds would serve 6 people, according to those sources (USDA, American Diabetes Association, etc.)

The true answer to your question is that it will depend upon the appetites of those you are feeding and the amount of other dishes you serve along with the pasta.
