Hi Phoebe, When doubling the recipe, we are unsure of a precise cooking time as we have not tested the recipe. Depending on the dish size you use, we recommend cooking for 40 minutes to start. If the stock has not absorbed, then continue cooking in 10 minute increments. Hope this helps! the dh team

Delicious and easy recipe! If I doubled the recipe, how much more cooking time would this need?
Jessica Johnson
Nice and easy recipe that even my husband can cook mid week.

This was quite good enjoyed it.

This was delicious! Although I had a moment of panic after 40 minutes as it didn’t look even close. I doubled the recipe so took about 50 minutes but it was definitely worth the wait.

Love this recipe. It’s a super easy never-fail recipe that always turns out fantastically. It’s one of those ones you can almost always throw together based on what you have in the pantry and freezer. We substitute the spinach with frozen peas and it’s delish!
