Hi! I need some direction on quantities for a vow renewal. There are 200 attendees and the menu is garden salad, dinner rolls and 3 varieties of pasta: Chicken Parm, Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo, and Bow Tie Pasta with Spinach, Mushrooms and Roasted Cherry Tomatoes.
I am really at a loss as to how much to prepare of each of the pastas. I assume the Parm and the Alfredo will be more popular than the Bow Tie. Any help is appreciated!

I forgot to add, the Parm will be served with Spaghetti as well.

For this meal I would plan on 50 pounds raw boneless chicken breasts cut 4 to the pound, for the Parm. About 20-25 pounds for the Alfredo

Total 35-40 pounds pasta, expecting some left over. Please read the spaghetti page about prepping and holding pasta, button at the top of the main cook talk page.
About 10 each plain and bowtie, and 15 linguine. Amounts are affected by whether it is buffet and what else is served, and what beverages.

Suggest marinara, about 1 quart per pound of pata, with the Parm
