ChefBuda - Thank you for your help. I went with 36 lbs of pasta and made an additional batch of sauce to put on the pasta which had absorbed all the sauce. I served Roasted TriTip, Alfredo, Green Salad, Fresh Fruit Salad and a breadstick. The TriTip and Alfredo were the hit. Everyone said it was the best they'd had.
ChefLayne - Sorry I wasn't more informative the first time. But your information helped me figure out what I needed. Thanks!
Fablesable - I understand you are professional Chefs, however, I new at this site and through trail and error I'm figuring it out. I did fail to say my dish would be a side. I had the event to do just this past weekend and not being a Chef, I wasn't thinking of ALL that was needed to help. However, I'm very appreciative of the help I got. I did use penne instead of fettuccini, great suggestion. Since this was a wedding I made fettuccini for only the wedding party since it was the brides request. You were correct, the penne worked out SO MUCH better. Thanks!
Panini - you nailed my sauce. Thanks!
Flipflopgirl - I had two action stations and we fed everyone in 30 minutes. Probably slow for professionals but that I'm not and neither were my help. I did use your tongs idea, baked the pasta, and used extra sauce just before serving, perfect. I only worried about the side because everything else was so easy and I didn't have any involvement with dessert. Thanks for being so helpful.
Oh, we grow walnuts.
Thank All Ya'll for helping a foolish home cook to pull off what looked to everyone else like a pro's job. I would have been lost and probably in tears without all your assistance. You are the greatest!
