Best Answer

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.

Measuring Pasta Quantities

Not sure how much pasta to throw in? The National Pasta Association offers the following guidelines:

* 2 oz. of dry spaghetti = bunch w/ diameter of a quarter = 1 cup cooked pasta * 8 oz. of uncooked small to medium pasta shapes = 4 cups cooked * 8 oz. long pasta shapes (spaghetti, linguine, etc.) = 1.5" diameter bunch = 4 cups cooked * 8 oz. uncooked egg noodles = 2.5 cups cooked

It depends on how much pasta those people would eat. But most people eat about 100 gram (before cooking) (1/5 of a pound). So for 125 people, about 25 (125/5) pounds of pasta is needed. But it is allways smart to buy some more ;P... uhu
