I got this.

A close friend of mine owns an Italian rest. and does all the spag. dinners for our school and our church.

Boil the noodles with oil in the water ahead of time. Put them in 5 gallon buckets or gallon size baggies.

When you get ready to serve, put them in a strainer, (a strainerful at a time) and pour boiling water over them. This freshens AND heats them up.

Not only does this keep them from sticking together, but it allows you to make up all the noodles ahead of time.

WOW! That is a great tip!! Thanks!

I usually rinse mine to cool them and then put them in warm water to wait for dinner time so they don't over cook or stick. Sometimes I just go ahead and mix it in the sauce to keep from having the hassel.

Have you thought about serving "baked spaghetti"? It's easy and also good, less messy for a bride too. It won't splatter on her dress.

That's what I would do!!
7 LARGE turkey pans of baked Spaghetti.. no worries about the noodles sticking. 2lbs of noodles and 3 jars or large cans of sauce per pan. That will serve around 8 people.

For the toast.. wrap the inside of a cooler in foil. Put the toast inside and place a CLEAN hand towel over them and close the lid. It will keep them warm and the towel will absorb the moisture so they don't get soggy.

Chop iceberg and romaine yourself! It is cheapest and still good!

I like the cooler idea! Seven pans sounds like kind of a lot to me! My family eats a pound of noodles and there are 6 of us, big eaters. I'd go with the serving size on the package with a little bit extra just in case.

Baked spaghetti is really good with cheese melted all over the top! Good luck, hope it turns out well.
