Chef Boni's Tips for a Valentine's Day Dinner to Remember
What better way to show your love than with a home-cooked meal? To help your Valentine's Day dinner be the best it can be, here are a few of Barilla Executive Chef Lorenzo Boni's fool-proof tips for improving any meal:
• Add dried rose petals and edible flowers. Use dried rose petals with a pesto recipe for a romantic garnish—or better yet—create your own fresh pesto using edible flowers. You can even buy the sauce pre-made with Barilla Pesto (so, you really can't mess it up)• Dye your pasta red. From beet water to a red wine reduction, coloring your pasta red creates an appealing dinner that is ready in no time. Pair beet water with crumbled gorgonzola or red wine reduction with a cream-based pasta sauce and a meat ragout
• Sprinkle some crushed pink peppercorn. This fragrant addition to a seafood pasta recipe, such as salmon pasta, creates a delectable dining experience
