Valentine's Day Dinner Meets Cajun Chicken Pasta

I’ve made Valentine's Day dinner for two years in a row now, both with great success thanks to The Pioneer Woman and her amazingly delicious recipes. Guys, there is nothing sexier than cooking for your significant other so I recommend flexing your chef skills in the kitchen next year instead of opting for fancy restaurant plans.

Pioneer Woman’s braised short ribs over creamy mashed potatoes is nothing short of an execution meal if you can manage to block off 4+ hours for prep and cooking time. Last year’s dinner was served at 11:45 PM. Oops! It was sooo worth it though. Oh, and make sure you pick up the short ribs from a local butcher or Whole Foods. Opt for quality over quantity here.

Onto this years Valentine's Day dinner…

Cajun Chicken Pasta

I can sum this dish up in a few words. This. Dish. Wins. My. Heart. How fitting for Valentine’s Day.

I mean, how can you go wrong with heavy cream, butter, garlic, and white wine in the recipe. The Cajun Chicken Pasta was creamy, decadent, and had a spice that built upon itself throughout the meal. Mmmm.

Vampires stay away! Here’s a photo of the garlic prepped for this dish. Buon Appetit!
