Well, Italian *nonnas rarely used more than one pan for cooking, and it was very common to just put pasta without the sauce in the plate, and a generous spoonful of sauce on top. This is what you used to find in restaurants, too.

The cooking water in the large pan is a rather new thing. Or maybe it's something just from my region :)

I like the Aluminum Finger Pieces from the first URL.

or even the "export to ascii" of draw.io? I would be happy to hear what the advantages could be.

There are plenty of these here :)
