baked ziti for a group
Betty
10/20/09 		My husband coaches 7th and 8th grade boys football and wants to have a party for them and their parents. He has 27 kids total, but not sure how many parents will come. I was planning on making baked ziti, tossed salad and italian bread. How much do you think I will need to make?

Figure about 2/3 the amount for 100 (60-65)? You could use use the amounts in the spaghetti dinner for 50-60 at the bottom of the spaghetti/ lotsa pasta page.

Without the meat, it feeds about 100 and you would need 5 times the amounts. You would substitute ricotta by weight for part of the mozzarella.

It is not clear from your note whether you want to serve these all at the same time or each one as a main courseseparately. If all together, you need to tell me the type of event (dinner, cocktail party, etc), time of day, and length of the party.
