Chef Appetizer with NO name....help me find one.

Rigatoni deep fried dipped in a garlic butter sauce, sprinkled with romano cheese and oregano. Too good of a dish to call just fried rigatoni. Any ideas on what to name it?

I guess you couldn't combine "fried" and "rigatoni" and just call it "Frigatoni."

I'm sorry. I couldn't resist.

How about "Fried Garlic Rigatoni"?

I have to say, I like Frigatoni!!! LOL I'd order it! It sounds like a lively and delectable appetizer -- I think it deserves a fun name! Its a Rigadoon!!!!

Rigatoni frito?

The first time I tried deep-fried pasta was years ago, my first encounter with fried ravioli. When I still ate pasta in quantities, I'd put butter in a skillet and frizzle up plain elbow macaroni for a quick dinner. I'm sure your app would be appealing to me!!!

Frigatoni..........I love it !! Thank you soooooo much. I think I'll skip the Frigatoni Industries though I wanted to change the name so if anyone tries to order it at another italian restaurant nobody will know what they are talking about.

I write my specials for our menu everyday and print them. If we have something new and "hot," that we think will be a keeper and a hit, we'll title it "Name this dish" and describe it. The customers really get into it, they order it (often) and give us suggestions. It gives the dish a lot of exposure.
