Menu Planning Guidelines:

- 12-16 ounces per person if a main dish.
 

- 6-8 ounces per person if a side dish ( 2-3 serving per LB) and 3 to 4 ounces if served as a side with another pasta or starch. (4-5 servings per LB)

• A note about our pasta sold by the pound: These are finished weights for cooked pasta including the sauce. For comparison, a pound of cooked pasta with sauce is equal to approximately 1/5 of a LB of dry pasta.

Preparation: Remove the pan of Baked Mac & Cheese from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. This helps ensure even heating.

Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). 

**Pro Tip: For best results place a pan of hot water in the oven when reheating. The steam will keep your food moist and speed up the process.**

Reheating Time: Reheat the Baked Mac & Cheese in the oven for approximately 20-30 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 155°F (68°C). Larger pans may require slightly longer heating times.

Check for Doneness: Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the pasta dish to ensure it has reached the temperature of 155°F (68°C) throughout.
