Your question is like asking "Should potatoes ever be a signature dish?" or "Should rice ever be a signature dish?"Well, not raw, unpeeled potatoes or boiled plain white rice, no... but dauphinoise or risotto? Some of my spaghetti recipes are for throwing together in 10 minutes after work... some of them I'd happily serve on a first date with Nigella Lawson.
