How much spaghetti sauce for 30 people?
It's impossible to say exactly how much spaghetti sauce you'll need for 30 people without more information! Here's why, and how to figure it out:
Factors that affect sauce amount:
* Appetite: Are your guests light eaters or big eaters?
* Other dishes: Will there be other dishes besides spaghetti?
* Sauce type: Thick and chunky sauces will go further than thin and watery sauces.
* Serving size: Are you serving a small portion of sauce, or a generous amount?
Here's a general guideline:
* 1/2 cup of sauce per person: This is a good starting point for a moderate amount of sauce.
* For 30 people, you'd need 15 cups of sauce.
To get a more accurate estimate:
1. Consider your guests: How much do you think they'll eat?
2. Think about other food: Will there be appetizers, salads, or other main courses?
3. Choose your sauce: Thick or thin?
4. Adjust accordingly: If you're serving a lot of other food, you can probably reduce the sauce amount. If you have big eaters, you might want to increase it.
Pro Tip: It's always better to have a little too much sauce than not enough! You can always freeze leftovers.
