Question
I am planning a luncheon for approximately 75 people. I am planning on making lasagna. How much should I fix?
Gail:
i would imagine that it depends upon what other items you will be serving--salads, breads, crudites, snacks, desserts. That would have a bearing on how much lasagne you would need.
Since I am an overall planner I have not become an expert in the catering area, rather relying on my hired caterer for that advice. However, I am including a list of great sites to determine quantities when you are doing your own catering. I refer hosts to it often for tips.
I am sure you will find your answer in this mix.
Have a wonderful party and good luck with your menu.
