If You’re Planning A Night In On Valentine’s Day, Check Out This Special Pasta Recipe

It can be challenging to figure out what to do for Valentine’s Day, especially if you’re prone to putting off planning until the last minute. But whatever you do, it has got to be creative and romantic. Plus, it needs to top last year.
Here’s a suggestion: cook your bae a delicious dinner from the comfort of your own home. It doesn’t require you to spend a ton of money, and you can set the mood. So turn your home into a romantic wonderland and have dinner by candlelight!
TikToker Sierra Georgitsis (@spoonfulofsi) has a last-minute Valentine’s Day dinner idea for those who are procrastinators. And it’s a pasta dish! Who doesn’t love pasta?
Instead of rushing around hoping to find a dinner reservation at restaurants that are already fully booked, head to the grocery store to pick up a few essential items for this fast and fancy meal.
Here’s what you’ll need.
Ingredients:
-1/2 pound of pasta
-1/2 yellow onion
-3 to 4 garlic cloves
-15-ounce can of diced tomatoes
-1/2 teaspoon of oregano
-1/2 teaspoon of basil
-1/4 teaspoon of red pepper
-2 tablespoons of tomato paste
-1/2 cup of water
-4 ounces of cream cheese
-1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese
-1/2 cup of spinach
Directions:
Start by cooking your pasta according to the instructions on the package. Dice up the onion and garlic cloves while the pasta is cooking.
Then, drain the pasta. Don’t forget to reserve some pasta water. It’s great to add to your sauces.
In the same pot, add the diced onion, garlic, tomatoes, basil, oregano, and red pepper, and stir. Next, add the cream cheese and continue stirring until it has melted. Throw in the grated parmesan cheese and spinach.
Once the spinach has cooked down, add the pasta to the sauce and mix well. Scoop it into presentable bowls and garnish with another sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
Hopefully, your date will be impressed!
