How do you make pasta salad for 50 people?

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.

How many pasta dishes are there?

There are other ways, such as microwaving (which isn't so good, and reduces your control over the cooking process), but the way to achieve perfect pasta is to bring approximately a litre of water to 100g (a quart to 4 oz) of pasta to the boil. When it reaches a fast boil, add about a teaspoon of salt per litre, add the pasta and cover the pot until it returns to the boil. Use long tongs to stir it. Remove the lid as soon as the pasta boils again. You can use packet instructions as a guide, but only as a guide; the way to be sure when your pasta is ready is to keep tasting it. Once the pasta is perfect, turn off the heat, throw in a cup of cold water, and tip the lot into a colander in the sink. At this stage you can use the tongs to stir in a little olive oil. I don't believe it's worth taking the trouble to cook less than half a kilo (1 lb) at a time. Since most dried pasta comes in half-kilo packages, this is convenient. If you won't use it all you can (I hope no Italians are reading this!) rinse what's left in cold water, let it drain and put it into a freezer bag. It'll keep in the fridge for a few days and is easily reheated in the microwave or a pan. I've served pasta reheated in this way to Italians and they don't know the difference. The important thing is to remember it goes on cooking in the colander, so it must be just under al dente when you remove it from the heat. The other important thing is to remember you've a big pot of rapidly boiling water in your kitchen and you mustn't wander off to do other things, especially if you have children or pets around.

Which cooks faster pasta or spaghetti?

Fresh homemade pasta cooks the fastest as it does not need to be re-hydrated as part of the cooking process.

As for dry pasta, the thinner and lighter the pasta the faster it will cook. Typically a thin egg noodle or a thin spaghetti will cook faster than a thick tube shape.

Also whole wheat flour pastas tend to take longer than traditional flour. Traditional flour is already broken down in processing, the whole grain in whole wheat takes longer to be penetrated by the water.

There are many different kinds of pasta made from many different ingredients, but it's pretty simple to figure out that the thinner the pasta, the faster the water will penetrate and soak through to cook it.
