10 Romantic Recipes That Will Spice Up Your Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity to show your loved one how much they mean to you - but let’s face it, planning romance can be stressful. Especially on a Tuesday night. Now, you could go the expensive (and crowded) route and book a table at a fancy restaurant, or you could keep things old school and cook your sweetie dinner at home. Staying in doesn’t mean going casual - there are plenty of recipes you can make at home that are just as luscious and romantic as something you’d get at a restaurant. Here are just 12 of the most romantic recipes we could find.

1. Parmesan Risotto with Roasted Shrimp

2. Burst Tomato Pasta

3. Lemon Rosemary Roast Chicken

4. Baked Brie in Puff Pastry

So warm and gooey. Just like that one couple you hate but have to pretend to like because you and your SO were friends with them since college.

5. Roasted Spiced Leg of Lamb

6. Easy Coq au Vin

BEFORE you freak out about this recipe that everyone says is crazy complicated, just read this one. Plenty of time left over for cuddling.

7. Steak with Drunken Mushrooms

8. Sweetheart Pizookie

Sure, maybe a little corny. But no less delicious.

9. Chocolate Bread Pudding with Raspberry Sauce

10. Nutella Brownies
