There is a bowl of rigatoni pasta with a tomato vegetable sauce, topped with parmesan shavings and pea tendrils. The bowl is white with a blue handpainted phrase that reads, "la bellezza passa, la fame no," which is Italian for, "beauty fade, hunger doesn't." In the top right corner we see a glass of golden white wine.

There is a bowl of rigatoni pasta with fennel sausage ragu, whipped ricotta, and fresh green herbs. The rim of the bowl has a handpainted phrase in Italian that reads, "Nessuno cucina come il papà," or nobody cooks like dad. The bowl is sitting on a cobalt blue napkin with fringes. We see a pair of masculine hands holding the edge of the bowl, forking the pasta.
