My DH is full italian - mother is from Italy. My ex's stepdad is from Sicily. They don't eat tons of pasta.
DH's family from Italy eats lots of fish - topped with a sauce made of chopped canned tomatoes, garlic, and a wee pinch of fresh jalapeno pepper. My ex's stepdad from Sicily eats lots of steak, baked legs of lamb, or osso bucco braised (browned in a dry pan and then simmered in canned tomatoes with a bay leaf, garlic, and basil). The osso bucco and sauce is served over spaghetti. A side salad of tomatoes over sliced mozzarella topped with fresh basil leaves, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and fresh cracked pepper. yum! I miss my ex's stepdad!!!! |

Did I miss something? Did OP ask how to feed Italian family? 
OP, are you making the meal? If so, lasagna and salad's great. (Though one 13 x 9 pan would not be enough.) If you are ordering in, Maggiano's excellent. |

| Baked shells with sauce and spinach/cheese stuffing -- that way people can have as much/little as they want...a little less boring than lasagna |
