3 and a half cups to four cups (dry) per person. Make sure you use smaller penne pasta as it cooks more evenly and faster. And ask your guests/family/friends or whoever is eating how much they want. Try cooking it all ,and using individual sauces!
i am making baked spagetti using penne pasta and need to feed 50. how much pasta do i buy
You need 100-125 grams of pasta person.You can measure first using how much does you cup measure.The value above depends also on the person who is about to eat.
I would cook 18 pounds of it. That comes to about a 7-8 oz serving each.
Depends what you are having with it. I usually cook about 3 oz of dry penne per person.
1 cup is a good portion per person
6 people per pound and 4.5 cups sauce per pound. But I suggest penne pasta. Much easier to cook large quantities
It matters how big the serving, but it can feed up 4-7 people :)
The best way i have found is to take a piece of lasagna. Cut the ruffles off. Use penne rigetoni and glue them down where you want your axle to be. Get Spaghetti glue a pasta wheel on feed through penne. Cut so the axle isn't hanging way over but there is room for the wheels to spin. Now do glue the other wheel to the spaghetti. It went 192.6 cm
3 to 5 pounds per person in the south with pasta could use less
you can but you shouldn't!
Because pasta packages the suggested serving size is two ounces per person, you would need at least 300 ounces for 150 people. This translates into 18.75 pounds of pasta. However, to have enough, it may be wise to cook 20 pounds of dry pasta. A typical package of dry pasta contains 16 ounces or a pound.
To get 2C of cooked pasta, the rule of thumb is to use half of what you need in dry pasta. Therefore, you would need about 1C dry pasta to get 2C of cooked pasta.Another measure would be weight, where the rule of thumb is that 2oz dry pasta makes about 1C of cooked pasta. Therefore, you would need 4oz dry to get 2C cooked pasta.
If you consider that serving of pasta sauce will be 1/2 cup, you will need 150 cups to feed 300 people. If you are buying #10 cans, you will need to purchase about 7 1/2 cans.
A sixteen ounce box of pasta contains enough servings for 8 people. Therefore, in order to feed 200 people, you would need 25 - 16 ounce packages of pasta in order for each person to have one serving.
