Notes: This is Gigi's favorite dinner party entrée. With proper preparation, this dish with a swirl of pasta (yes I said swirl), garlic bread and a Caesar salad can be whipped up in 15 minutes. It was my favorite dish at the old Roma Restaurant.
When my son Tommy was young he and I would invite his mom and sisters to have dinner on Valentine's Day at the Roma Restaurant. We'd dress up in a coat and tie, walk out the side door and go to the front, ring the door bell and escort the girls to the car and then dinner. He heard me compliment the girls on how pretty they looked. He noticed that I opened the car door for the ladies. He learned to wait for the girls to be seated at the table before us men sat. He'd watch as I'd inquire as to the girl's menu decisions and how I'd order for them. Then after a great meal and with the few bills I'd slipped him before we left home, he learned how to pay for the check and tip the server. Finally, he learned that not only should men pay for and not be concerned with the cost of the dates, they should put in considerable effort into planning them as well, the company of a lady being your reward. Tommy took to this gentlemanly training easily and became one himself.
