Physical change

This dish was mostly physical, the Macaroni shells enlarging as they soaked in water and the cheese melting for a few.

Is it practical to make adjusted amount? No it is not practical to change the amount of food because

although the recipe says it will be ten servings I preliminarily cooked this dish and found the amount of food that goes into it is in excess…considering the number of students.
