alwaysyouandmebabe asked: Hi, I want to do a little dinner for my boyfriend at valentine's day, but I don't know what to do, any idea ? please.

Hey girl. I see you’re 15 and Canadian! Way to be on top of things. Jesus, neither of us here at Faux Pasta had boyfriends at 15, but if we had, we would probably have tried to get out of the house to furtively ignore said boyfriends at Steak ‘n Shake on North Avenue or something (in an effort to show them our love, obviously).
Anyway. In any case, your boyfriend will probably be impressed no matter what you make, but I have to say that I’ve never met a guy that didn’t like pasta. Marcella Hazan’s tomato butter sauce (http://smittenkitchen.com/2010/01/tomato-sauce-with-butter-and-onions/) with pasta, freshly grated parmesan, a minimally dressed salad (toasted walnuts, baby belle peppers, maybe an avocado - the trick with salads is to actually pour a little dressing in, toss it, and as long as all the leaves are coated and there’s no dressing left at the bottom of the bowl, you’re solid - just do that right before you’re about to serve), and maybe just some ice cream sundaes for dessert with sprinkles would be really great. Anyway, that sauce is mind-blowingly  simple and delicious. 

Have a wonderful Valentine’s dinner!
