Pasta Cooking Disaster Zone

About this idea

The elf stands at the kitchen counter surrounded by an elaborate pasta disaster. Uncooked spaghetti noodles stick out wildly from a colander worn as a hat, while more pasta is scattered across the counter in dramatic arcs. The elf's arms are positioned in exaggerated Italian chef gestures with wooden spoons taped to its hands, and a dish towel is draped over one arm. A trail of flour leads to an overturned bag, and several pieces of pasta are stuck to the backsplash as if thrown in frustration.
