Pasta Ortolano ★★★

Taken all the way down to base materials, a batch of 3 Pasta Ortolano is 3 crafting steps deep and needs 3 intermediates — Tomato Sauce ×1, Vermicelli ×1 and Highland Flour ×3 — which resolve to 10 distinct raw materials totalling 14 units, plus 21 crystals.

That bill outweighs 6,557 of the 13,602 recipes tracked here and 851 of the 1,058 Culinarian ones, and 337 recipes nest deeper.

Only 5 of those crystals go into the final step; the other 16 are burned by the intermediates, so the real crystal cost is 16 Fire Shard, 3 Fire Cluster and 2 Water Cluster.

Every step is Culinarian work, from a Lv 12 intermediate up to the Lv 60 finish, so one class covers the whole chain.

9 of the 10 raw materials come out of the ground, and 2 of them are time-gated: Abalathian Rock Salt (10:00, 22:00) and Dravanian Paprika (6:00, 18:00). The widest gap between consecutive opening times is 8 Eorzean hours, about 23 real-world minutes.

Of the intermediates, Highland Flour has the widest use: 16 recipes call for it, all of them Culinarian recipes.
