This "non-Italian food stylist" (I'm Irish; and a writer, without much of an eye for photographs, though I take them as part of my job) puts blobs of sauce on plain spaghetti, then quickly tosses it all to combine. But for the picture, I thought it would look nice to shoot it before the tossing. So yup, a little "artistic liberty" at work here for sure. :) PJH
