On Debian, the default configuration is to install recommended packages, but not suggested ones. On Ubuntu Studio, I don't know what the default is, but it seems that on your box suggested packages are installed, too (which I - personally - find annoying).
To change the default settings, please check here:

Sorry, I don't think this link from 2012 is that useful anymore. My apologies.
I put this into /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99norecommends:
APT::Install-Suggests "0";
that is fine.
APT::Install-Recommends "0";
but you shouldn't disable " recommends" by default. doing this will most likely give you a system that lacks all the functionality you expect.
it is *really* meant for experts only!!!
you can of course use '--no-install-recommends' on a case-by-case basis.
