A white, slightly oval plate containing a serving of penne pasta is centrally positioned on a dark grey, speckled table surface. The pasta is coated in a creamy, reddish-orange sauce and includes visible ingredients such as green leafy vegetables (spinach), whole black olives, and sliced mushrooms. The rim of the plate is lightly dusted with a reddish-orange spice. In the upper left background, a portion of another white plate shows remnants of a light-colored, partially consumed dish containing corn kernels. To the upper right, a translucent yellow-green glass or bottle with a light-colored beverage is visible. A dark fabric object with a white design is partially visible in the lower right corner of the frame. The scene is located in the city of Germiston, South Africa.
