Sauce Help - Need sauce recipes for Tomato Basil Sauce & Sauce for Eggplant Rolletini

Hi All, Was hoping someone could help me out here. I am going to be having to make sauce for a very large crowd 40-45 people.

I need to make tomato basil sauce and also sauce for eggplant rolletini.

 

I thought that both sauces were pretty much a marinara sauce with lot's of fresh basil added at the very end when when dressing the pasta or pouring over the rolletini. Can anyone confirm this or offer recipes? (or a place to look for them). Is there a formula to follow so that I make enough of the sauce (& rolletini). I'd rather have too much sauce than not enough. I can always save & freeze leftover sauce for a later time. Any advise would be so appreciated.

You are correct but some people run the chunky Marinara in a robo -cou to pulverise or puree. You could do 1/2 that way and 1/2 not chopped  But please use enough Fresh Basil/

 

I would figure 6 ounces per person  of each 45x6= 270   % 32 ounces in a quart =8.44 qts so go 9.  So your looking at  2 1/2 gallons of eachYou may need a bit more as rollatine will absorb quite a bit..  Happy Cooking
