    Yummy I will try this! It is Hot in the South, so you can do this in your air fryer or top of the stove. Love it. And you have a great weekend too!

      Not sure about your question Susi. It just means that this amount will easily serve 4 people.

      I see what you mean Susie, when you click scale 2x the spinach and pasta are doubled, but not the other ingredients. I think it might just be a mistake in the system.
      1 recipe will typically serve 4 people, so 2x should double everything and then serve 8.
