Plated or buffet or action station?
I ask this because for being so simple pasta is one of the harder dishes to serve buffet style.
The main problem is the tendency to suck up all the moisture and go mushy (like @chefbuba mentioned).
When I plate in the kitchen I use tongs and make a swirly little "hill" ...hit it with parsley and serve (same with action station).
Harder on the buffet....if the sheep are slow to move everything sticks together and looks like glue.
You can prevent a lot of this by switching out the pans before you get to that stage or just bake it off like mac and cheese and let them serve themselves with a spoon.
Have a practice run at home and you will see what I mean.
