5 boxes

Re: how many boxes of ziti???
1-1/2 boxes .... 2 boxes, max
That will fill up a long buffet tray which is plenty for a side dish.
I did it for Christmas. Made 3 boxes, it made more than 1 long tray, weighed about 25 lbs. Everyone had some and we barely made a dent in it (35 people as a side dish)
When you add the riccotta, mozzarella, sauce ... it created volume/density!

ETA: I just asked my dad - he was a chef when he served in the army and he said 1-1/2 boxes is plenty .. 2 boxes if you want a lot of leftovers.
