It depends on the kind of pasta. It's easiest to measure by weight. Look on a box of pasta and it will tell you average serving size. I think it's always better to have some extra so I always make more since I hate running out of food when I'm feeding people.

You will need approximately four pounds of spaghetti in order to feed 30 people. This would be enough for just one serving size per person.

The normal serving is considered to be 4 to 6 ounces. 12 pounds should feed 30 people. And leave you with a bit left over if they aren't too hungry!

It depends what else they are having, but I would make at least 10-12 pounds cooked pasta.
