How many pounds of pasta to feed 40 people?

Answer 1

ABOUT FIFTEEN POUNDS. ALSO DEPENDS ON WHAT KIND OF DISH YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

It depends on the kind of pasta. It's easiest to measure by weight. Look on a box of pasta and it will tell you average serving size. I think it's always better to have some extra so I always make more since I hate running out of food when I'm feeding people.

Answer 4

You will need approximately four pounds of spaghetti in order to feed 30 people. This would be enough for just one serving size per person.

Answer 5

The normal serving is considered to be 4 to 6 ounces. 12 pounds should feed 30 people. And leave you with a bit left over if they aren't too hungry!

Answer 6

It depends what else they are having, but I would make at least 10-12 pounds cooked pasta.

Answer 7

About 8 pounds of uncooked pasta.

Answer 8

23 Pounds

Answer 9

40
