I made this for a party of 15 people it ended up being plenty of food w/leftovers (I did make a 4th sauce, a meat sauce. The gorgonzola was the biggest hit. I don like sage didn have any fresh herbs besides basil so I used a little bit of dried oregano instead.

I read a review that said it was hard keeping everything straight while making all 3 sauces at the same time. I knew that would be an issue for me too so I made 1 sauce at a time.

Because I was having so many people over, I didn want to be cooking the day of the party so I made the gorgonzola tomato basil sauces the night before then warmed them up in crock pots. I made the parsley pesto about an hour before the party started.
