You’re finally having a date night, just the two of you (on the couch, but still). Before you order a pizza and call it a night, consider cooking a meal together instead. Not only are the results tastier than takeout, but you’ll have a chance to bond and show off your skills in the kitchen. Plus, you can pop open a bottle of wine to sip while you work to make the task more romantic.
Here are 70 easy dinner recipes for two that you and your boo will love, including lobster risotto, pasta alla norma with eggplant, basil and pecorino, skillet steak with asparagus and potatoes and foolproof cheater’s confit. Some of these recipes make more than two servings, so think of it as built-in meal prep (leftovers FTW).
