I clicked on a picture of a desert (looked like it had a lime green topping over some light colored filing and crust which looked so refreshing I wanted to try it) , however, that was not the receipe that came up. I tried to find it, but could not. Can you help me?
I have just signed up for your e-mail list. I love to cook and am always looking for new recipes. the first one I looked at, Spaghetti and meat ball and while reading it I saw it calls for 500g of meat. and 320g spaghetti why is it in this weight form? Is this the way all the recipes are?
Thank you for your time. Richard
Welcome to the site. Not all recipes are by weight, in fact very few are most use the more standard north american cups, teaspoons and tablespoons. That said, typically meats are by weight or by unit (i.e. 4 chicken thighs) as that is how they are purchased. Dried pasta is very hard to use volumetric measurements for as well and so I used grams. 320g is approximately 4 portions, so if you are used ti cooking with pasta just eyeball it
The other easy way is to look at your box of pasta, figure out how many portions are in it total and then again judge by visually portioning it.
