How to check if an array of user input equals a specific object?

I have an array that stores user input and I have objects that require specific values to be true.The user input must match the ingredients in each object.

var recipes = [
{
    'name': 'Omelette',
    'ingredients': [
        "Eggs",
        "Mushrooms",
        "Peppers",
        "Onions"
    ]
},
{
    'name': 'Spaghetti',
    'ingredients': [
        "Pasta",
        "Tomato",
        "Meat Balls"
    ]
};

var storedIngredients = [];
//This is the array that stores user input.
//I used this is so far but it's hardcoded and I don't want hardcode

if (storedIngredients.includes('Pasta','Tomato','Meat Balls') {
console.log(recipes.name[0];);
};

I need a way to have if the user enters the corresponding ingredients he will be shown that he has the ingredients to make spaghetti for example.

You can use filter on the array to find a list of reciepes which the user has the ingredients for.

var recipes = [
{
    'name': 'Omelette',
    'ingredients': [
        "Eggs",
        "Mushrooms",
        "Peppers",
        "Onions"
    ]
},
{
    'name': 'Spaghetti',
    'ingredients': [
        "Pasta",
        "Tomato",
        "Meat Balls"
    ]
}];

var storedIngredients = ["Pasta",
        "Tomato",
        "Meat Balls",
        "Onions"];

var match = recipes.filter(x => x.ingredients.every(e => storedIngredients.some(s => s === e)));

console.log(match);

You can use reduce on the recipes array, then every recipe the user can make, push it into a new array.

var recipes = [
{
    'name': 'Omelette',
    'ingredients': [
        "Eggs",
        "Mushrooms",
        "Peppers",
        "Onions"
    ]
},
{
    'name': 'Spaghetti',
    'ingredients': [
        "Pasta",
        "Tomato",
        "Meat Balls"
    ]
}]

var storedIngredients = ['Pasta', 'Tomato', 'Meat Balls'];
//This is the array that stores user input.
//I used this is so far but it's hardcoded and I don't want hardcode

let result = recipes.reduce((acc, n) => {
  let ingredients = n.ingredients;
  if (storedIngredients.includes(...ingredients)) acc.push(n.name);
  return acc;
}, [])
console.log(result);
