Appetising starters
Make an eye-catching salad that tastes as good as it looks. Our courgette carpaccio uses a mix of veg, cheese, fragrant mint and toasted pine nuts. Or warm their cockles with roasted red pepper & tomato soup with ricotta – it can be prepped in 10 minutes flat. Scatter over a few basil leaves, mixed seeds and drizzle a little oil for that professional finish. Following the Italian theme, how about artichoke bruschetta for a simple and speedy antipasti, leaving you more time to devote to your Valentine.

Veggie Valentines main
The best recipes are often the simplest and Italian cooking adheres to that philosophy, as well as evoking an air of romance. We love this divine hazelnut & oregano pasta. Creamy, satisfying, full of flavour and texture, this elegant main is an instant win and takes just 22 minutes from prep to plate.
Alternatively, serve up our easy yet impressive sesame halloumi parcels with sweet potato mash, or a comforting risotto – this tomato and mascarpone version uses storecupboard ingredients to extra-special effect.

Dreamy desserts
Pick from simple yet sophisticated desserts that look restaurant-worthy when plated up but don’t take hours to make. Who doesn’t love a silky, quick & easy tiramisu? Or, if you want something light after quite a filling meal, try our sorbet fizz for a fruity dessert that’s no-cook and fat-free!
Fancy something chocolatey to share? Our boozy chocolate fondue with a hint of cinnamon and ever-popular salted caramel is perfect for dunking and dipping. Simply add a splash of brandy, Tia Maria or Baileys to take it to the next level. Or go all out and make one of our heart-shaped bakes and desserts for a truly showstopping pud.
