Okay, the reality is that we are busy and tired and we are parents. Romance is often the last thing on our minds. Along comes Valentine's Day and nudges us to put in a little extra effort. Yes, we should "be romantic all year round", but that doesn't always happen. What's an easy way to show your love? Food! Specifically, these awesome Valentine's Day pasta recipes!
I don't know about you, but food is my love language. And, pasta is our go-to for Valentine's Day. Whether we are eating dinner with or without the kids, everyone is going to love these pasta dishes.
What makes a good Valentine's Day Pasta recipe, you ask?
Well, I think the dish must be easy to make, but look and taste amazing. It should be warm and cozy and not too heavy. And, remember as long as everyone eats the same garlicky food, no one will notice anyone else's garlicky breath. Bonus points to the dish if it has a Valentine shape.
