Better avoid using quotes inside HTML. We'll avoid quoting attribute values. There's no attributes.\n\nAlso use , tags.\n\nIngredients list: list includes:\n\n- 8 oz whole wheat penne\n- 1 tbsp olive oil\n- 1 small onion, diced\n- 2 cloves garlic, minced\n- 1 tbsp chopped fresh ginger\n- 1 tbsp curry powder (low sodium)\n- 1/2 tsp turmeric\n- 1 tsp ground cumin\n- 1 cup diced sweet potato\n- 1 cup chopped cauliflower\n- 1 cup spinach\n- 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained\n- 1 cup low-fat coconut milk\n- 2 cups vegetable broth (low sodium)\n- Salt & pepper to taste\n- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)\n- Lime wedges (optional)\n\nCheck: 8 oz whole wheat penne: that's about 227g.\n\nInstructions:\n\n1.

\n\nCheck for no quotes. The ½ is using special character but okay. Have backslashes? Inside JSON we need to escape backslashes only if present. We have no slashes. But we have and "? We used . That's okay. We used and &ndash? We used &ndash? That appears if we include \"low‑sodium\", which uses hyphen with a dash. It might be an em dash or hyphen? Let's represent with hyphen \"-\". We used \"low‑sodium\" with a special hyphen. That may be a unicode soft hyphen? Let's keep just hyphen \"-\".\n\nThus: \"low-sodium\" normal hyphen.\n\nAlso we used ½ which is U+00BD; ok.\n\nNeed to escape the backticks? none.\n\nJSON must have double quotes around string. Any internal double quotes? no.\n\nWe need to verify valid JSON:\n\n{\n \"content\":\"Curry Pasta
