Just an idea, but how about making a single dish with
an array of stuff in it. Pasticcio di Tortellini
aka Tortellini Pie.

It's got tortellini, 2 sauces (bolgnese and bechamel),
usually a meat (meatballs, mortadella), cheeses, all
in a crust. They're festive and different. I do one
just about every year.
