How much spaghetti for 700 people?

It's impossible to give you an exact number of spaghetti servings for 700 people without more information! Here's why:

* Serving Size: How much spaghetti do you consider a single serving? Is it a standard 1 cup cooked, or a larger portion?

* Appetite: Are these people adults, children, or a mix? How hungry are they expected to be?

* Other Dishes: Is this spaghetti the main course, or just one part of a larger meal?

Here's how to estimate:

1. Decide on a Serving Size: Start with a standard 1 cup cooked spaghetti per serving.

2. Factor in Appetite: If you anticipate larger appetites, increase the serving size to 1.5 cups.

3. Consider Other Dishes: If the spaghetti is the main course, plan for more per person. If it's part of a larger spread, you can reduce the amount.

Example:

* 1 Cup Serving: 700 people x 1 cup/person = 700 cups of cooked spaghetti

* 1.5 Cup Serving: 700 people x 1.5 cups/person = 1050 cups of cooked spaghetti

Tips:

* Overestimate: It's always better to have too much than not enough.

* Leftovers: Plan to have some leftovers. You can freeze spaghetti for later!

* Dry Pasta: Use a pasta calculator online to convert cooked portions into dry pasta weight.

* Contact a Caterer: If you're catering a large event, consider hiring a professional caterer who can help you plan the right amount of food.
