<human>:  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?
<bot>: 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.
