If this were a classic Italian meal, this would be two courses with the noodles making an entrance on its own and more than likely being dressed a bit more. Of course, were this an Italian meal the pasta would not be made of rice. This is, nonetheless, a very tasty repast as would be the accompanying subjects of the photography, as in the second photo where it seems they are about to become a piatto unico of their own,
