Answer 4

You don't really need a lot with spaghetti.  I would suggest some sort of vegetable, like asparagus or broccoli, breadsticks and brownies for dessert.

Answer 8

Side Dish:

Potatoes Sauteed in Garlic and Olive Oil

1 - bag potatoes

1 - jar minced garlic

1 - bottle extra virgin olive oil

Salt

Pepper

Chop as many potatoes as you need into bite sized pieces and boil until cooked through, but not too soft. In a 10" skillet heat 2 Tablespoons of olive oil until it spatters when you splash it with water. Add potatoes wedges (do not overload the pan, you can always repeat this as many times as necessary), 1 Tablespoon of minced garlic, and a dash of salt and pepper. Sautee untill potatoes are golden brown. Place in a small hotel pan and keep warm in the oven (set to the lowest setting). Do not keep sitting in oven for too long.

Non-traditional salad replacement:

Slice a tomato into 1/4" slices and top a slice with a 1/4" inch slice of real mozzarella cheese and i small to medium leaf of fresh basil. Garnish with a pinch of fresh Italian parsley. Serve each guest with 3 on a side dish. To add richness, also add 1/4 of thin sliced Genoa salami.

Dessert:

This one is so easy, and guaranteed to please. Head over to the supermarket and pick up some spumoni ice cream and claret sauce. Neopolatin can work if spumoni is not available. Serve the spumoni (I prefer cut into traditional triangular wedges) drizzled liberally with the claret sauce.
