I had an ex half-seriously propose to me after I made him sweet potato gnocchi with sage alfredo sauce, so I suppose that?

Good mole. Put it on anything, and I will probably bone you on the dinner table, right then. Oh dear god mole.

cheese must be sex in food form, because eating fondue with your lover is pretty hot. that, and the predictable crab legs with butter. a little less predictable is steamed artichokes with a really delicious sauce. I mix 1 part high-quality melted butter with 1 part high-quality olive olive, stir in some nutritional yeast & a couple of shakes of Spike seasoning. Sounds weird, but it's heavenly. The yeast adds a really earthy flavor that is very sexy.

I tend to date women with relatively unsophisticated pallets. I think, generally, everything I've ever cooked has gone over pretty well. I do better when it's things the women don't know how to cook themselves, but that doesn't really narrow it down much. My best was probably stuffed salmon, though I haven't made that in a few years.

I'm Italian, and food is a ritual in my country.

My boyfriend is particularly fond of my chicken curry, but I don't think that's my best recipe. Some other things I make that are really nice you just could not make over there (the ingredients would not be available), but I'll leave the recipe to Spaghetti alla Checca Arrabbiata:

This one serves two:

about 160 gr. of spaghetti (I don't work with ounces, sorry),

make more if that's all you're having and/or you're really hungry

three large red tomatoes

garlic (one clove)

oregano (dried is fine)

basil (a couple leaves; fresh, please)

parsley

one little chili pepper (and I mean little as in "tiny", you don't want to burn your tongue on pasta, do you?)

olive oil (extra-virgin or nothing)

salt.

Dice the tomatoes. Pour a couple spoonfuls of olive oil in a large pan. Peel the garlic, and make a few tiny cuts in its side so it will release a little juice into the oil when fried. Put it in the pan with a little (and a mean little!) chili pepper. Lightly brown the garlic, then remove it. You may also leave it there for a stronger taste.

Put the tomatoes in, add basil, oregano and a little salt. Cover the pan so that the tomatoes will stew. Be careful not to let the sauce dry. When they're done, add chopped parsley.

Boil a lot of water. I mean a LOT of water. A really big pot. When it's boiling, pour a spoonful of salt in it. The water should be salty but not too much so. Put the spaghetti in and let it cook until al dente.

Strain the pasta, pour it into the saucepan and sautée it lightly. Serve immediately.

... and let me know if you liked it ;)

Two cheddars, two cheeses. But, thanks, yeah, I accidentally left out the wild card cheese of choice. Fixed.

Yuck. I think they wanted to sleep with/marry you before you made them that dinner. The casserole didn't have much to do with it. Unless he's 5. But you'd have to leave the tomatoes off.

Last time I checked, that was five cheeses (if you are counting white vs. sharp Cheddar as two cheese types). Sorry, just an editor weighing in.
