Pasta and sauce calculator for a party
Use the package and sauce jar sizes you can buy. Adults and children use the same portion here.
How we worked this out
- A main pasta portion is about 4 oz dry. A side is about 2 oz dry before sauce.
How the estimate works
Dry pasta uses the main or side portion. Cooked weight uses your multiplier. Packages and jars round up.
The starting estimate is 4 oz dry pasta and 4 oz sauce per guest for a main, or 2 oz dry pasta for a side. Edit those amounts for your menu.
