DATE NIGHT DINNERS EP 1: homemade bolognese with pappardelle 🍝❤️✨
Ingredients:
* 4 oz pancetta, diced
* 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
* 1 medium yellow or white onion, finely diced
* 2 medium carrots, finely diced
* 2 celery stalks, finely diced
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 1/2 cup dry white wine
* 1 (14 oz) can whole San Marzano tomatoes
* 1 (6 oz) can tomato paste
* 1 cup whole milk
* 1/4 tsp nutmeg
* 1 bay leaf
* 1 sprig thyme
* Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
* Olive oil, for sautéing
* Fresh basil or parsley (optional, for garnish)
* Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving
* 1 lb pasta (tagliatelle, pappardelle, or fettuccine)
Instructions:
1. Heat a pot over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook for about 5-8 mi, allowing it to get crisp and fat to render. Remove from the pot. Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 min until softened. Season w a pinch of salt. Add garlic and cook 1 min.
2. Add ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook for about 8-10 min until fully browned. Season w salt and pepper.
3. Add the can of tomato paste. Toast for 5-6 min, stirring frequently, until it turns a deep brick color and begins to caramelize. This step adds a deep, rich flavor to the sauce.
4. Pour in the wine, using a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let the wine simmer and reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.
5. Add the pancetta back in. Stir in milk and simmer for 5 minutes. After the milk has had time to meld with the meat, add the crushed San Marzano tomatoes, nutmeg, Thyme and bay leaf. Stir everything together and reduce the heat to low.
6. Simmer the Sauce
Cover the pot and let the sauce gently simmer for at least 1.5 hours up to 8 hours, stirring occasionally. This long, slow cooking process is key to developing the deep, rich flavor typical of Bolognese.
7. Right before serving, cook the pasta. Discard the bay leaf and thyme sprig. Toss the pasta, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed Serve topped with freshly grated Parmesan and garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.

A chicken pasta recipe so good, it could make you fall in love? Not as crazy as you might think! @chefmnn's "Marry Me" Chicken recipe is definitely delicious enough to be proposal-worthy. Want to try it for yourself? Check out the ingredients below, and follow along!
Ingredients
1 Box Barilla Penne
1/2 cup pasta water
1 chicken breast
1 tbsp salt
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp black pepper, separated in half
1 cup flour
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 tsp parsley
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp oregano
1 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes
1 tbsp butter
cooking oil
Directions
1. Start by bringing a pot of water to a boil for the pasta. While the water is heating, butterfly the chicken breast and pound to make it thinner.
2. In a prep dish, mix flour with salt, pepper, and paprika. Coat the chicken with this flour mixture.
3. Preheat a pan to medium heat, add oil to it, and then sear the chicken until golden brown.
4. While the chicken is cooking, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook it according to package instructions.
5. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the pan and add butter and garlic to the same pan.
6. After about 30 seconds, add the chicken broth.
7. When the chicken broth reduces by more than halfway, add the heavy cream, parsley, oregano, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and more black pepper.
8. After 3-4 minutes, when the sauce has thickened, add Parmesan cheese and mix it in, followed by the sun-dried tomatoes.
9. If needed, add some pasta water to the sauce. Then, add the cooked chicken to the sauce, spooning it over the chicken.
10. Once the chicken is well coated in the sauce, remove it from the pan.
11. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and mix everything together. Plate up your Marry Me Chicken with the creamy pasta sauce, and enjoy!

POV: your partner says they’ll be home in 20 minutes so you start cooking.
So I made seared scallops with beurre blanc and caviar.
Simple ingredients, restaurant-style results.
Save this for your next date night dinner at home.

You all asked for date night recipes, so this month I’m starting a new series called Friday Date Night Dinners, where I’ll be sharing delicious and impressive (yet easy!) meals for you and your special someone. First up, a lightened up version of a classic pasta dish: Fettuccine Alfredo.
My recipe is not traditional by any means, but it’s every bit as creamy and comforting, while also light enough to savor an entire bowlful and still go back for seconds. I like to serve it with a a classic caesar salad, savory focaccia, and a good glass of wine. Recipe is linked in my bio — I’ve also got a vegan version on my website!
