I am having my brother in-law (who is beginning to cater) cater my wedding of 130 people. I would like to do chicken scampi, but I'm unsure of how much chicken, linguine...etc. Also I want to do an Italian pasta dish as another main dish since I am on a very tight budget. Any imput would be helpful. Thank you! |

Samantha,except for the baked pastas such as lasagna, mac and cheese, or manicotti, pasta dishes are not easy for buffet use. So pick a baked pasta. Everything I know about pasta for large groups is on the spaghetti page. Scampi dries out on buffet service. A chicken in sauce such as chicken marsala or my orange dijon wedding chicken is a better choice. Also rice, such as almond pilaf holds better. You need about 3 people in the kitchen and 8 servers, all not wedding guests, to set up, serve and clean up this size party. |
