Have some sort on an antrae it helps people get in the mood. And they are distracted if something is or was going wrong with some other part of the meal. Make it interesting. Not one that EVERYBODY has had at a restaurant or somewhere.

Make a veggie dish since they are often vegetarians among guests. I would suggest a ziti loaded with mushrooms, tomatoes and peppers. Or a spinach lasagna. Since you already have a pasta, if this isnt good, make a large colorful salad.
