A Recipe for Two

Mia wanted to cook dinner for her friend Noah. She found a simple pasta recipe online and wrote down the things she needed. At the store, she bought tomatoes, an onion, and a small bag of pasta. She already had oil and salt at home.

When she started cooking, Mia saw that the recipe was for four people. She only needed dinner for two. She used half the pasta and two tomatoes instead of four. Noah arrived while she was cutting the onion, so he offered to help with the salad.

They ate dinner at the kitchen table. The pasta was good, but there was still a little left. Mia put it in a box for lunch the next day. Before closing the recipe, she added a note: use a little less pasta next time.
