It depends if you only serve pasta salad or something else with it. When you serve only the pasta salad - I would use 6 packages ( 6 pounds ) of pasta, 6 tin peas, 24 tomatoes, 8 onions, 2 pounds ham, 6 tin corn, 3 red pepper. If you want to serve this to a bbq - I would recommend a quarter of the recipe above.
I have to make a pasta salad for a bridal shower that will have 35 women about how much salad do I n eed to make it also has turkey in the salad?
it depends on how much they want to eat
Loads.
depending on how much people eat you would need about 10-12 boxes of pasta to satisfy your members.That will be enough for 200 people.
To prevent it from overcooking. Cold water will stop the cooking process. However, you need not rinse it if you want to serve the pasta immediately. -------------------------- Rinsing pasta removes the starch. If serving hot pasta, you want the starchy coating to remain in order to make your sauce stick. If you are making a cold pasta salad, you will want to rinse the pasta in cold water first.
Only if you want to
no, you need lots more then ten pounds
A cold pasta salad is an incredibly simple dish and can simply consist of your favorite pasta type, your favorite dressing and any other vegetables or meats you want to accompany it. It's all personal taste.
All you really need to make a great pasta salad is olive oil and a touch of vinegar. Add some texture and color by including broccoli, carrots, and other vegetables. Don't forget the salt and pepper!
Yes, you can, but you will need to keep it chilled until time to serve.
You need approximately 150 grams of cooked (i.e finished) pasta salad per person, depending upon what else they will be eating. (If they're not eating anything else, probably closer to 175-250 grams of finished pasta salad per person). Dried pasta tends to weigh 2.5-3 times it's initial weight when it's cooked. This means that you need around 23-30 kg of uncooked pasta total, depending on how much of the pasta salad will be veg and sauce, how hungry you're expecting people to be, how much other food they're being fed etc... Good luck.
Pasta, cooked and cooled. Then what ever you want. Usually the bits are smaller in size that the pasta shape. Some pasta salads have no sauce or oil in them. Try aromatic leaves, bits of cooked or raw veggies, bits of cooked meat, nuts, cheese.
Pasta about doubles in size once cooked, so if you need 2c I suggest boiling a little over 1c of pasta.
How much will you serve one person x how many people are expected = how much you should make. For instance, if you will give each person 1 cup of green salad and you are expecting 50 guests, the formula would be 1 x 50 = 50. You'll need 50 cups of salad.
In my opinion, if your serving along side other food, you should assume 1 serving per person. One serving of pasta is generally 1/4 a cup of dry pasta. Therefore you should cook 17.5 cups of dry pasta, for your pasta salad.
