Two boxes. Better to have leftovers then too little and pasta is so cheap anyway. Why be skimpy on something that costs a dollar?

I have 5 kids ages 3-13 ish and I make 1 box and a half for a regular dinner. I would send two boxes for this because your usually more hungry post partum and the leftovers are so nice for lunch the next day.

I guess my kids are not pasta lovers because I was going to suggest just one package! A half bag is enough for my relatively large family kah.

Frozen fish sticks or homemade?

I would send 1 box with sauce/ as ziti and 1 box plain in case the kids are picky.

With all that food likely they will need the second box. Dh and I and 4 kids 2-7 use one box and then dh and I will nosh later but that's only if it's all we are having. Would Def send a second bag of plain once you are going to all the effort since chances are good someone will be picky and want plain.
