If you agree that the perfect Valentine's Day dinner involves staying at home and cooking with (or for) a special someone, then we've got the menu for you. This is a romantic Valentine's Day dinner menu perfect for falling in love.
Since Valentine's Day only happens once a year, your dinner menu needs to feel special. And this menu has special written all over it.
If you've ever wondered what kinds of things to cook for Valentine's Day dinner, we've got you covered. This is the perfect Valentine's Day dinner menu for two. You'll notice that many of the dishes are perfect for sharing and that the menu is light but satisfying, so you'll have plenty of energy after dinner. Wink wink.
The menu begins with some beautiful, warm marinated olives. This is our idea of sexy food: warm, salty, and a little bit spicy. To sip on there is an Aperol negroni that's both light and boozy at the same time.
Once you've settled in there's a caramelized shallot and gruyere fondue for two. Melty cheese is pure love.
The main course features pretty (but easy to make!) heart-shaped wonton ravioli stuffed with beet and goat cheese.
And finally, if you're able to restrain yourself after all the talking, laughing, flirting, and eating, is a molten chocolate lava cake for two. Or you can always come back for dessert later after you've worn off some energy.
Bon appétit!

Warm Marinated Olives
These tasty olives are simmered in olive oil and flavored with lemon, chili flakes, and marcona almonds. They're the perfect little salty bites.
Note: either scale the recipe to ½ cup of olives or make the full recipe and treat yourself to delicious olives all week.
Aperol Negroni Recipe
An Aperol Negroni is the lighter, sweeter, and friendlier little sister of the classic Negroni. It's made with Aperol instead of Campari, which is less bitter and more approachable. A Negroni with Aperol is a delicious treat!

Melty cheese is love in a bowl.
This recipe serves eight but is very easy to scale back. Leftovers also reheat beautifully. We recommend making a half portion. Trust us, you'll want a little extra the next day.
Spinach Pomegranate Salad Recipe
This pretty Spinach Pomegranate Salad is the best winter salad. It's full of juicy pomegranate, toasted hazelnuts, and mint and tossed in a maple balsamic dressing. You will LOVE it!

Spinach Pomegranate Salad with Hazelnuts and Mint
This salad is as tasty as it is pretty. The pomegranates and hazelnuts make it feel like a special occasion salad.
The recipe serves four so you can simply make half the recipe. (Although we recommend making all of the dressing and toasting all of the hazelnuts so you can make a quick salad again this week.)
Beet and Goat Cheese Ravioli Recipe
Want to impress your date? Make this beet and goat cheese ravioli tossed in brown butter and sprinkled with crispy sage and toasted walnuts. THIS is a recipe you'll talk about for years to come: Sophisticated, delicious, and simple to make thanks to the ultimate ravioli hack. It's perfect for Valentine's Day, date night, or whenever you want something a little extra special.

Beet and Goat Cheese Ravioli
Nothing says “I love you” like a plate of heart-shaped pasta. This easy-to-make and playful pasta is given a grown-up finish with a brown butter sage sauce.
And if the cuteness factor feels too over-the-top for you, simply skip the step of cutting the wonton wrappers into heart shapes.
Flourless Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes Recipe
If you're looking for the best Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes recipe, you've come to the right place. These babies are super rich, perfectly sweetened, and every bit as ooey and gooey as they should be. (PS. don't tell anyone but the ingredients are all healthy, too!)
