Here is my final recipe suggestion for all you love birds out there. This recipe is a big undertaking, however, so if you’ve waited this long to make plans, you might have waited too long to mentally prepare for the challenge that is the Big Night Timpano! If you’re still reading, however, or if your boo bought one of those scalped reservations on the web…I bid you well and recommend you don one of those new skirts with the elastic waistbands that seem to have come back into style at JUST the right time.
I first discovered this recipe in a dark movie theatre at the Aspen Film Festival. In Stanley Tucci’s 1996 movie Big Night, the chef Primo slaves away at this towering pasta pie, among countles other dishes, in attempt to save his and his brother Secondo’s dying restaurant. While the guest of honor, charged with brining celebrity buzz to the small unknown trattoria, never shows, the night is anything but a loss. Actually, I suppose they do lose quite a bit of money, but they have a big extravagant evening filled with endless courses of food, wine, and dancing. Additionally, they learn the importance of being and being true to yourself and your talents, which may not be as loved and appreciated by others as you would expect, but are the only thing that will bring you true happiness.

My roommate makes me these for brunch on the weekends after late nights out and about. They’re easy. You have these things on hand. If you don’t keep them around they freeze well. And last forever. So no excuses. Add these ingredients to your grocery list. They. Will. Save. You.
