spagetti

06/25/06 		I am making spagetti for about 250 I am serving meat sauce, marinara, and alfredo. Also serving grilled chicken cut into pieces. The only meat sauce recipes I find seem like they don't include enough meat if you go by the regular 30-35 lbs meat per 100 people. I want to have a nice meat sauce that has lots of meat. I dont want to be chintzy, I want to spoil my crowd, how much meat should I use and do you have a recipe? any help would be sooo appreciated. Thanks.

Varies a bit with type of sauce, whether or not self service, and what else is served- for example, serve eggplant parm and plenty of gar;ic bread, and the amount of pasta goes down.
