Date Night At Home—Fettuccine With Peas and Prosciutto

May 4, 2018 by Tonja Leave a Comment

Cooking together with your significant other can be intimate, romantic, and fun. Enjoying a glass of wine, your favorite music, wonderful smells wafting from your stovetop, and of course each other allows you to slow things down a bit and relax.

My husband and I started cooking together early on in our marriage, when little babies entered the scene and babysitters were scarce. After the kids went to bed, we’d spend a romantic evening making dinner and trying to recreate all the restaurant dishes we were used to having out.

Fettuccine with peas and Prosciutto is a perfect recipe for date night. It’s elegant and easy and made with high quality ingredients to enhance its deliciousness.  It’s also a perfect balance of taste and texture with savory cured prosciutto and fresh sweet peas in a sauce of white wine, cream, and truffle oil.  This dish feels fancy but comes together quickly.

The Caramel Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding is irresistible and served in these cute individual ramekins.

Shout to Twin Cities Live for hosting me and letting me talk about these yummy recipes!
