How to start Pluto's third unlock quest

To begin the A Curious Dish quest, which is the third mission tied to unlocking Pluto, you must find and fish up a Shiny Tomato. This item will appear in your village after you've first completed both The Spaghetti Incident quest and the Life’s a Meatball quest.

Fish up a Shiny Tomato

The first Shiny Tomato can be fished out of a pond in the Peaceful Meadow biome. The precise spawn spot of this item varies for everyone, but mine showed up in the big pond located near the west end of the biome. Check the other two smaller ponds near the east end, too, just in case it appears there.

The Shiny Tomato will appear in a special sparkling gold ripple spot. You'll be able to spot the red Shiny Tomato sitting in the middle of it, making it easy to distinguish from other regular fishing spots. If you don't see this item, make sure you've finished both of the other two prerequisite missions with Lady. If it's still not there, you'll have to wait until the shop resets in your local timezone.

Talk to Lady

Once you've fished up the strange Shiny Tomato, find Lady in your valley to fill her in on the latest spaghetti nonsense in the village. She's not quite sure what to make of it and recommends you seek out some advice from an expert.

Talk to a chef or a wizard about them

You can either seek out the advice of a professional chef, like Tiana, or a wizard, who is Merlin, to learn more about the situation. You'll get the same results regardless of who you chat with, so it's entirely up to you. I chose Tiana for this part of the quest.

Fish out more Shiny Tomatoes

Before you can do anything with them, you first need to fish out more Shiny Tomatoes around the valley. For this part of the quest, they can be found in the Peaceful Meadow, Glade of Trust, and the Forest of Valor. The precise spawn spots are random for them here, too, so the process for finding them looks different for all players.

Bring every Shiny Tomato you found to Lady

With all the Shiny Tomatoes you found in your inventory, track down Lady around the village. Chat with her to pass them over and discuss what should be done next. You now have everything you need to make a strange yet satisfying dish, so that's what you need to do.

Cook a dish combining the ingredients you've found

Throughout the Pluto quests you've tackled with Lady, you've obtained three magical ingredients. Now, you can head to any cooking station to combine them into something delicious. Toss in the Rolling Spaghetti, the Magical Meatballs, and the Shiny Tomato Sauce that the Tomatoes you found transformed into. Combining all three gets you Memorable Spaghetti and Meatballs.

Go to Lady and Tramp's house with the Memorable Spaghetti and Meatballs

With the dish you cooked in your inventory, head to Lady and Tramp's house to progress.
