Bowtie Pasta (and Everything Else) for Valentine's Dinner
An obvious choice for a pasta main dish is Pasta Primavera – a mix of pasta (doesn't have to be bowtie, but it certainly can be) and vegetables that's pointing with hope towards spring (which is what primavera means in English). Spring (however distant), love, pasta – for what more could you ask? Oh yeah, the appetizer. We'd do a simple finger food – something like cantaloupe slices wrapped in prosciutto, or asparagus spears rolled up in small crepes that have been spread with a little Boursin cheese. For the dessert, how soon can you get started? One of our favorite romantic desserts is Coeur à la Crème (not diet food, but how often does Valentine's Day come around?) It requires a special heart-shaped, pierced mold that you can find in some kitchenware stores and online Another dessert option, if you'd rather swing towards chocolate, is the Midnight Torte, which also needs to be made a day in advance. |
