Foodie Swellness: A recipe For Pasta Lovers for Valentine’s Day

February 2, 2015

I think a cozy, romantic dinner at home is much more intimate than going out to a packed restaurant…why not skip the hoopla of going out for a bite with your Valentine and make something together at home (or one of you can take charge of dinner as your gift for February 14th).

A sweet dinner that’s a gorgeous red hue (talk about staying on theme for the night) is this Italpasta recipe for spaghettini with roasted beet. You don’t often have beets with pasta (or I don’t, in any case) but I love the sweetness of them in one of my favourite foods (pasta!) and the creaminess of goat cheese in this dish. I skipped the poppy seeds when I made the dish (that’s my version of the recipe in the photo above) because (1) I was lazy to go to the market to buy them, and (2) poppy seeds can get all stuck in your teeth…not a look I want on a romantic evening (although I did substitute sesame seeds).

You can find the recipe for this spaghettini with roasted beet over on the Italpasta site, and for more Valentine’s Day inspiration, check out their Pinterest board Valentine’s is For Pasta Lovers where you can find ideas on table settings, how to do the day on a budget and DIY projects.

Your Valentine will swoon. So get planning, Valentine’s Day is fast approaching.
