URGENT HELP PLEASE.....
We are doing a six course meal. Veal Scalopini is our entree and we're serving a Watercress Neovue salad with shaved radishish, pickled beets and crumble blue chesse.

Can you recommend a dish for the following courses?
Amuse boiche
Soup Course
Pasta
Dessert
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP....

For the pasta course- why not something simple & light? Toss fettucini or your favorite pasta with a basil & lemon gremolata ? This should be a nice complement to the veal.
Dessert? a Panna Cotta would be nice- not overly heavy, but still luxurious. A rich vanilla panna cotta would be nice.
A cream of parsnip soup? (You don't want to upstage your Amuse Bouche  or downplay your entree. )
Amuse bouche- Hmm. quartered figs lightly seared wrapped in jamon serrano (spanish ham) and topped with a sherry vinegar vinegarette, 
Or Extra large green olives sliced partway & stuffed with a slice of anchovy, slice of sweet roasted pepper and very thinly sliced orange peel - drizzle olive oil & sherry vinegar over this.
or braise some pork belly and serve it in 1 inch cube -topped with a micro herb salad and roasted tomato broth.
