How much spaghetti for 20 people?
A serving size of spaghetti is considered to be 1/4 to 1/2 cup. Since you can not measure spaghetti in a measuring cup let's switch to ounces. 1/4 of a cup of dry spaghetti is 2 ounces, once cooked it measures about 4.5 ounces. So to get enough cooked spaghetti for 1 serving per person, for 20 people you need 20 about 20 ounces of dry spaghetti, or 1.25 lbs. 1.25 lbs of dry spaghetti will cook into approximately 2.8 lbs of cooked spaghetti, which is 45 ounces. 45 ounces which is roughly 5.6 cups, and 5.6 cups divided into 1/4th cup servings of cooked spaghetti gives you about 22 servings. If you feel people are going to want more than 1 serving then cook up another half pound of spaghetti to be safe.

How many caliries does spaghetti have?
One serving of spaghetti has about 200 calories in it, 160 for a tomato sauce, 100 for butter, and 150 for a slice of garlic bread. (These are averages for what is usually in a spaghetti dinner and are correct for the serving size of that type of food.)
So that's 200,160,100, and 150, for a total of about 610 calories or so for the entire meal, which is quite little, considering.
