In Luxembourg smth similar exists but it's called "social help" for artists.
It's rather easily available if you make art for a living and it's enough to survive (paying social security & living costs)
For one of my works, a 50 x 3.5m insitu concrete sculpture, i had about 10 subcontractors.
Architects, concrete specialists, engineers, construction firm, gardeners and so on
You often lack the resources/skill thus you subcontract.
Nothing wrong nor surprising with that.
Artworks are often 100% prototypes so it's already challenging finding subcontractors that understand the work and are willing to take the risk of producing the work.
“La pasta vuole compagnia”
Pasta needs company! Never leave it alone, keep stiring once in a while and keep testing them.
Best to drain it before you think it's "good" or al dente cause paste keeps cooking after beeing drained due to the heat and moisture/vapor.
Also, most good pasta dishes get their final cooking in a large pan in the sauce with some cooking water. So usually you drain em when they are still a bit hard in the inside and finish the cooking in the pan.
