It sounds like it was a success because it brought you joy and probably for Wesley and his pasta too.
Very Tempted…

Well, Wes quit. It “jusnt for him”.
Fair enough. Happens all the time.

That's too bad as it seemed from what you said that he was really into it. But better now than later I guess. Hopefully the next one will be along soon and work out better?
What's the restaurant doing for a pasta chef. Remember your vow not to work full time! LOL!

That's too bad about Wes. I hope he finds something he likes.

Update:
The owner has found a new cook to come onboard. Arianna is a little older (not an apprentice) and has had some experience in kitchens. She has been in and out of the industry over the years, understandably prioritising her kids and family.
Her pasta is very good, even though our technique is different. I had to reduce my time there due to my health, and I am told she did struggle at first.
Arianna has settled in now, and I have been able to go back to an “as suits” schedule.
Of course, I am not going to be telling her what to do because she doesn’t really need me to. I did suggest that she pull back on the amount of pasta she is making for the mis.
She was making loads of it and freezing kilos every night. I’m okay with freezing some pasta at times, but obviously the fresher the better.
I’m sure her portions will be more balanced as she gets used to the flow.
