some very interesting dishes are mentioned by a multitude of members. there's a myriad # of options. i indulge in some of the same above. DiMarlino & Carli macaroni i use with a variety of options. whatever mood i'm in dictates a combo. it can be extra virgin olive oil, broccoli, just butter, soup, shrimp, scallops, a heavy creamy buttery sauce i make with garlic & himalayan salt, Kayem hot dogs, too many others to list. but 1 i really enjoy a dish i concocted for a party which is: 1 of the above macaronis in a creamy garlic butter sauce with carrots, asparagus & sausage.
