On average two ounces of uncooked penne pasta are in one cup of cooked pasta. If watching serving portions one can also use a food scale for exact weights.
If you consider that serving of pasta sauce will be 1/2 cup, you will need 150 cups to feed 300 people. If you are buying #10 cans, you will need to purchase about 7 1/2 cans.
Please specify WHICH pasta, there over 300 types, all different weight /volume ratios.
To get 2C of cooked pasta, the rule of thumb is to use half of what you need in dry pasta. Therefore, you would need about 1C dry pasta to get 2C of cooked pasta.Another measure would be weight, where the rule of thumb is that 2oz dry pasta makes about 1C of cooked pasta. Therefore, you would need 4oz dry to get 2C cooked pasta.
There are many weight/ volume differences in pasta, so that is impossible to say. Try again and NAME your pasta - they range from 65 grams a cup to 235 grams a cup.
Because pasta packages the suggested serving size is two ounces per person, you would need at least 300 ounces for 150 people. This translates into 18.75 pounds of pasta. However, to have enough, it may be wise to cook 20 pounds of dry pasta. A typical package of dry pasta contains 16 ounces or a pound.
For 300 people, and an average of 15lbs per turkey with each person eating about 1¼ lbs, you would need about 25 turkeys. Here is my math: 1¼ pp X 300 people = 375 lbs. 375lbs/15lbs per turkey = 25 turkeys Note: This is all theoretical; I do not know how much turkey 300 people will eat.
