We did a Feast of Seven Dishes yesterday because family was in town, and it was my niece's birthday last week. It's a prelude to the Super Bowl.

Some of us don't like seafood, so the traditional Feast of Seven Fishes during Christmas season isn't an option. Feast of Seven Dishes is our adaptation.

We made pasta with Sunday sauce. The pasta was homemade cavatelli rigate. We had four people rolling the pasta, so it was quick work. Pasta and sauce was served with meatballs.

We made two types of veal, veal milanese and satimbocca; chicken milanese; hot Italian beef sandwiches with homemade bread baked in a pizza oven; homemade Italian sausage/peppers/potatoes; homemade pepperoni pizza.

Pepperoni pizza. Cornicione is so thick because the dough was literally falling off the peel, so I had to close the edges to reduce it's size so it would fit on the stone.

We had chocolate lasagna and ice cream cake for dessert.
