Baked ziti, maybe 2" deep, as a main dish? The recipe says 10.
-
I would say 8 ish
-
with salad, bread, veggie

I always make two pans when I have more than 6 adults to feed. If rather have too much than not enough. A 9x13 wouldn't feed the ten people I'd be cooking for. Not that they're pigs, but a few of the guys like big portions.
-
What MG said. OR, provide lots of salad, bread or other sides to make up for less ziti per person.
-
6-8

Well this recipe ended up practically overfilling the pan. So easily 3" deep. We ate less than half with salad and bread as a family of 5 (although 3 of which are little).
Anyway, I'm organizing a freezer meal exchange, and we're supposed to have a recipe that feeds 4-5. I think I'll divide the recipe into (2) 8x8s.
-
hmmmm. if it is totally full, then i would say 10.
-
I was going to ask who the eaters are. A family of five with three little ones is quite a bit different from a group of grown endurance athletes. A pan that size would maybe satisfy about four of them. :D

Very true!
-
We cook way too much food for larger groups but I'm paranoid to not have enough. I'd probably assume 1/2 what the recipe claims.

I feel so much better knowing that others over-prepare because of a fear of not having enough when entertaining large groups! DH does not understand!

oh yes, i definitely do. I do not consider success having *just* enough food, i consider success, everyone being fed enough and the serving dishes not bare.

I'm required by religious law to cook too much food.

Similarly, I think I am required by genetics. Definitely more food than ever possibly needed.
-
Me too. No way would I trust that that would feed 10.
I like the idea of 2 8x8s. Give the person who receives it a chance to decide how much they need.

Ziti is excellent left over, especially with a bit of balsamic vinegar, and you get great economies of scale for the amount of effort (though not the ingredients), so I'd err on the side of way too much...
