I would serve one baked pasta, lasagna or mostaciolli wit sausage, see my spaghetti page, but go to chef2chef.com or one of the other pro catering sites for the loose stuff.

10/28/05 		HOW MANY POUNDS OF PASTA DO i COOK FOR 150 PEOPLE?
ellen

10/28/05 		7 pounds of macaroni for salad for 100 people, but a pound of spaghetti only makes 4 main dish (large entree) servings. So how much you make depends on what you are making it for. There is quite a bit of discussion on the spaghetti/lotsa pasta page in Big Pots. For example, you need more pasta with a thin sauce than with a thick, chunky sauce.

01/09/07 		I am catering a birthday party and having 150 guests. I've got the pit beef guy coming to take care of beef, ham, turkey, & sausage. I need to provide some other food in addition to that all by myself. I was thinking of having some type of potatoes, beans, corn, salads, baked beans, ice cream, and cake. Any suggestions on what quantities of each to get for that many people?
