Want this question answered?
For a side dish I'd say about 8
It depends on how big of a meatball that you plan to make and whether your recipe calls for fillers like bread crumbs, eggs, etc. Also, will the meatball be the main course, like in sandwiches or a side dish to pasta? if you were just using ground beef, I would figure two meatballs per person for a side dish to pasta. Each meatball weighs about 4 ounces. So, about 40 pounds of meat would be my answer for a side dish.
Lasagne is a layered pasta dish.
It always helps in this type of question if you say it is a main meal or a starterAs a main pasta dish I would usually start with 4 oz of dry pasta per person. With the swelling of pasta and sauce, this will become 12-14 ounces of food per serving. A pasta salad can be just a starter or a main dish. - As a starter salad use 2 oz dry per person.
660g of pasta 360g of pasta sauce 3 onions 120g of mushrooms
Depends what it is for, -an appetiser, part of main dish, etc. More info needed.
i saw on another question it said 1 pound feeds about 4 people assuming the pasta is the main course. so for 30 people, to be safe, i would buy/use 8 pounds of pasta. maybe 7 if you know some people don't eat a lot
the pasta mentioned by Apius is macaroni
It is a grain
Spaghetti Bolognese
Ravioli
