Pasta e Basta

In the organizer's words:

We are in the kitchen of an Italian restaurant. Three chefs, a waiter, a dishwasher. One of the kitchen crew really is a passionate chef. His life consists of creating delicious pasta dishes and nothing else; pasta e basta! For the others, the kitchen is a place of their dreams, passions and musical longing for Italy.

Goodbye cooking spoons, the kitchen is now the big stage! Mixing spoons are turned into drumsticks, bass is played on the kitchen whisk and even a grand piano has found its place in the kitchen (secretly!). Incoming orders are only casually considered, pasta is cooked in excess and the dirty dishes are disposed of through the garbage disposal.

The throats of the musical troupe only become quite silent when a lady from the office unexpectedly appears at the door and threatens to put an end to the hustle and bustle. Can the kitchen quartet use the power of their music and the top chef's delicious pasta creations to charm the lady from the office and avert the imminent closure of the restaurant?
