I'm cooking dinner for my parent's 51st wedding anniversary and ever since seeing Bourdain's Rome episode I've wanted to try this and since my parents love Italian I though it would be a perfect fit. So for those of you that know, is this considered a main course or is it just the pasta portion of a more traditional Italian meal? I was thinking of doing a braised oxtail as well but that got shot down by my usually iron-gutted old man so now I'm need of some other meat to go with it. Batali had a nice looking chicken dish that I can't recall the name of off the top of my head but I was thinking it was Sicilian and I don't want create an Italian regional war by serving Sicilian and Roman fare in the same meal. Any good meat dishes you guys grew up with that you would suggest?
