Never thought of it as being an Italian thing, Lou. Mom made them and
stuffed them with the same mixture as she used for holubky (cabbage
rolls) -- ground beef, rice, onions, seasonings, cooked atop the stove
with tomato juice poured over.

I'd enjoy most any starch with them -- potatoes (diced and fried?),
halushky, gnocchi. I don't see a spaghetti noodle with them, though.
Got any pirohy on hand? That'd be good, too. Green salad. Cole slaw?
We know I'm not a gourmet cook; my tastes are pretty simple and basic.
Some good rye bread would be nice.
