As I anxiously await the spaghetti and meatballs trial run, what do you think is best current Italian dinner offering?
My rankings:
1. Cheese Ravioli
2. Traditional Lasagna
3. Pasta Fagioli
4. Penne Pasta
5. Chicken Pasta Parmesan
6. Chicken Fettuccine
I didn't include the pizza's because... well, their lousy
What are your favorites? Is anyone with me on the Chicken Fettuccine being a thumbs down?

I like the Penne Pasta best, followed by the Carbonara and the Rising Crust pizza (I LOVE the dinner pizzas, but not too fond of the lunch ones).
The fettuccini is actually pretty good if you toss in some frozen broccoli or pea pods before cooking it, otherwise the noodles seem to get a bit crunchier than I like while being nuked. Plus, helps to bulk it up a bit as the portion is smallish.

I really like ALL of them- even the Fettucine! It is better if you do not overcook it/don't max out the time in microwave. I add some parmesan cheese too, and the ever-present broccoli!
Top 3:
Lasagna
Penne Pasta
Fettucine!
The pizzas I have not ordered in awhile. They need ALLOT of "dressing up" to be good and filling.

The chicken Fettuccine is my absolute favorite I could eat that 3 times a week. I'm not a bean person so that Pasta Fagioli is right out the window. And I'm not a fan of the none frozen items. As an Italian I'd also give a thumbs down to the ravioli sorry
I like the pizza's though
my rankings would be
1. chicken fettuccini
2. chicken carbonara
3. the pizza's all of them
i haven't tried the spaghetti and meatballs yet but that's this week!

Rising crust pizza and Chicken Fettuccine are my two faves. Sorry. Can't stand that Chicken Pasta Parmesan - ugh. Others are okay from time to time. The saucy ones are convenient because it's easy to add tons of veggies.

1. Chicken Fettucini
2. Spaghetti and Meatballs
3. Chicken Carbonara
4. Penne
5. Lunch Pizzas
I never microwave (use oven) and generally add herbs/spices, some veggies and fat free cheese.

that is INDEED the quintessential New Yorker poem.
rat poison At least it's more of a poem poking fun at poems about turning 58 than a serious poem about turning 58. I appreciate that layer of protective irony.

In fact I have to say this poem just cemented

I really like the chicken carbonara, followed by the penne pasta and the chicken fettucine. The pizzas are nasty and should not even be called pizzas. I add sweet red peppers and broccoli to the fettucine and just love it. Good Luck with the program!
