Notes
Really Healthy Pasta with Sauteed Veg, Basil and Sun Dried Tomatoes
Sounds really tasty although as my husband doesn’t like the taste of coconut will use more olive oil and cauliflower instead of broccoli although I adore broccoli!
Lavonne, just memorize this: 1 ounce is about 30 grams and one pound is about 450 grams. If you know that it’s easy to estimate conversions.
As you can see, this recipe must be way off! As delicious as it sounds, one ounce of green beans? 2 ounces (plus) of broccoli? Are we being punished for something 🙂 ?
Sounds wonderful. Not used to attempting to convert g to what ever a normal recipe states. How would we find out to do the conversion?

As you can see, this recipe lists tiny amounts! One ounce of green beans? 2+ ounces of broccoli? Are we being punished for something 🙂 ?
I eyeballed the amounts and it came out delicious! Fairly easy and my teenagers loved it. Will def enjoy it a few more times this summer.
