(I understand and I agree.)
So, my last and demanding job seemed something like:
strozzapreti con funghi, speck, piselli e panna
A kind of maccheroni, but with a richer flavour, and not hollow shaped (literally: priest-stranglers, so good) with mushrooms, speck from Alto Adige region, pees and cream.

It was a good job (here, strozzapreti are perfect), mushrooms smell and taste good and they actually represent my client's good communication, speck is a bit tasty and a pleasant job is also spicy and demanding, pees tend to mitigate moods, and then cream.
Uh, it is a perfect dressing when you like the job and would like to keep it at a positive level of flavour for body and soul. Creamy.

pees = pisciate (alcune)
Io stasera preparo un sugo di tonno, pomodori freschi, capperi, olive nere, e un peperoncino solo. Ottimo con qualsiasi tipo di pasta, ma meglio con gli spaghetti (rigorosamente De Cecco).
Later this evening I'm planning to make a sauce of tuna, fresh tomatoes, capers, black olives, and a single chilli pepper. Good with any type of pasta but best with spaghetti (strictly De Cecco).

This is complete nonsense to me. I like Italian but said kinds are all boring, just like my last piece of a job. My new fav Italian is spaghetti aglio e olio (excellent!), but my favourite meals come from India (or Sechuan). Anyway, back to that nonsense of a question: it´s like the adage in my mother tongue: if my grandmother had had wheels, she would have been a tram...

Leaping spaghetti. It rises from the plate and strangles you where you sit.
(I suppose that's the typo, as "heaping spaghetti" makes no sense.)

English that's better than the original

It was a pasta dish ordered by walk-ins just as the chef was about to hang up his hat, in that it was an information leaflet/signs for tourists on the Atlantic coast. Usually I translate that sort of stuff in April or May. I suppose they wanted to check whether any foreigners would actually come before having it translated, given the fiascos of the last two years.

| interpret the question | Aug 8, 2022 |
This makes no sense. Is the poll supposedly for someone whose last job ever as a chef is to make a pasta? If so, "would have been" is not the correct verb tense. Or does it mean "If the last thing you did recently was to make a pasta, it would have been ..."?
Or is it supposed to be comparing the last translation you did with some sort of pasta?
I see that many of the polls are still ambiguous. I wonder if they do that on purpose!
