What do you call a recipe that serves four?

The card says serves four. The photo shows a casserole dish brimming with creamy pasta, enough to feed a small book club.

You follow every measurement. You bake it exactly twenty-five minutes.

Punchline

You pull it out, divide it among four plates, and everyone gets three bites and a side of cereal later because apparently "serves four" means "serves four very polite sparrows."
