Adjusting Recipes
 When changing the yield of a recipe, use the

measuring equivalents to figure the adjusted amounts
of each ingredient before you begin cooking. Write the
adjusted amounts on your recipe so you will
remember them as you work.
 To adjust recipes you want to use the following
formula:
 Want/yield = multiplying factor
 Take the multiplying factor and multiply it by each

ingredient amount.
PASTA RECIPES

Miracle Lasagna
Servings: 6

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 1 Hr 5 min

Ingredients:
•1 (26 ounce) jar Prego Traditional Italian Sauce
•6 uncooked lasagna noodles
•1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
•2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
•¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

cheese. Let stand 5 minutes.
Recipe Adjusting Example
 Miracle Lasagna from slide 10
 It yields 6 and I need it to feed 18
 18/6=3 (multiplying factor)
 Take 3 and multiply by each ingredient
 1 jar of Prego (3)=3 jars of Prego
 6 lasagna noodles (3) = 18 lasagna noodles
 2 cups shredded mozzarella (3) = 6 cups of

mozzarella
 ¼ cup of grated Parmesan (3) = ¾ cup of grated
Parmesan
Recipe Writing Activity
 Write down your favorite recipe including

everything you think is needed to prepare, how
to prepare and how long it takes.
 Next, find the real recipe either online or in a
cookbook and compare the real recipe to your
recipe.
 What was the difference?
 What were you missing?
 Why is it important to have an accurate recipe when

preparing food?
