The song at the beginning of the video is “It’s Hard Work“, by Joe Hisaishi, from the Spirited Away soundtrack. This version has backing vocals and was released on the “Spirited Away Image“ album in Japan in 2000.

Elsewhere, spaghetti is typically dressed with light sauces or olive oil and herbs. You can actually see the cook putting a bottle of olive oil down next to the plate of spaghetti. That’s what they are eating.
