Use the calculator to figure pounds of pasta needed.Just use substitute the same weight of pasta instead of the calculated amount of rice. The liquid used should be about 1.25 quarts per pound of pasta. The exact amount will vary between 1 quart per pound of pasta and 1.5 quarts per pound. How much you use will dependi on how soft you like your pasta, what type of pasta you use, and how long you keep the pot covered.

Thanks.

I came here to answer, but I’m not going up against a damn calculator.

It’s a great tool.

Need to cook for 40 tomorrow. How many lbs of noodles would you use

---

5 or 6 lbs.

So many variables here. Are there sides with the pasta? Are kids and women included in the 40 persons or is it all grown men? 6 lbs should cover you no matter who the 40 is. You're going to need at least a four gallon pot for this.

Good luck.

whatever you say sir
