I'm trying to cook a recipe for pasta, can you help me figure out how much of each ingredient I need for the amount of people I'm serving?

The amount of each ingredient you will need will depend on the size of the portion you are serving and the number of people. A good starting point is to mix one pound of pasta with one tablespoon of oil per person. For sauces you can use 1/4 cup of sauce per person. For vegetables, you can use about 1/4 cup per person. For cheese, use about 1/4 cup per person. Finally, for seasoning, use about one teaspoon of herbs and spices for each person.
