How much pasta for 100 serving pastalaya?

Thanks! Didn't think a pound of pasta made as many servings as a pound of rice.

Looks like I need 16 lbs. Thanks again Rat

Just plain nasty crap!

15 will be plenty and a safe bet. 3# will feed 25 mixed-appetite people easily.

Ok, so if I am making pastalaya using my normal jambalaya recipe, I simply use the same amount of pasta instead of rice?

How much water do you use in your jambalaya? Use that to convert to pasta.

For example, I use 4.5 cups of water per pound of pasta. So if I use 2 gallons (32 cups) of water in my jambalaya, I do 32/4.5 and that gives me pounds of pasta.

I don’t know how much y’all eat on 6th and Barone, but I’ve done this dozens of times and had 25+ servings EVERY time.

Pasta calculation is 7 servings per pound. 7x3 is 21. Which is why I said you may get 25, but it’s pushing the limit. I can’t agree that 3 pounds will “easily” serve 25.

If he has another view, fine. I never said anything about him. I’m just sharing my knowledge based on my experience. Do you want one view when you ask a question or multiple views?
