Grammar
Dropping "Will" After "By The Time That"
Watching a youtube video about cooking, I heard a sentence, the grammar of which confused me:
"Add the mint stalks in with the pea pods, and by the time that pasta's al dente, they've added in all their wonderful fragrance."
Shouldn't it be "they will have added" instead of "they've added"? It seems to me that the future perfect would perfectly fit in that sentence, while the present perfect makes no sense to me.

That has to be one of Jamie Oliver's videos, bless him! Don't fret about it - it's OK in informal speech.
