Lasagne? Home made pizzas? Spanish chicken (chicken thighs, onions, peppers, chorizo, olive oil, oregano, paprika) Bake in the oven in one tray!

Chicken stuffed with pesto, basil and wrapped in parma ham, mash potato and spinach.

Tastes amazing and also can look very presentable on the plate too

Thanks for the replies, I probably should have mentioned that she doesn't like spicy food so think the chorizo may be out of the question. I really like the chicken pesto idea though!

Just cut a large slit in the breasts, stuff a basil leaf in there, then spoon some pesto in, wrap the breasts in param ham or prosciutto (never get the names right), use cocktail sticks to seal them up. Cook for 20-25 mins on about 180c. Mash potatoes with lots of milk/butter and put some mustard in perhaps to give it an edge (it's not hot trust me), pan fry the spinach with butter until wilted.

Yummy

Romantic food...IMO, go light on carbs....if its pasta or potatoes etc small portions! They make me feel full, and sleepy, not romantic!

To be honest...a nice bowl of pasta and some salad and bread, a glass of wine and a simple pudding would be a very romantic gesture if cooked by the man I loved...

....and then of course he needs to do the washing up!

Simplicity that the key,it doesnt need to be fancy to be romantic

Poached salmon, new potatoes, coleslaw .. it's a simple one and really easy. A bit of tartar, or mayonnaise goes nice with it too. A little bit of descent salad could go well with it too (baby tomatoes, rocket, etc.)

It's nice, has flavour but isn't spicy. It's not wildly adventurous, but some people like that.

Follow with a nice desert.

Personally though, i like to make chicken fajitas for my wife

lots of little bits you can eat with your fingers or can feed each other seafood is good so prawns mussels etc or

stuff that gets you messy like bbq chicken drumsticks and wings wait for her to get some sauce on her face and kiss it off or

something like a quiche or tart in a heart shape or

any nice meal that she likes but you feed it to her while she is wearing a blindfold or

big sharing plate of spaghetti and meatballs or

personally i think breakfast can be a really romantic meal if done right

remember to set the mood with non scented candles low lights etc and push the last meatball across to her with your nose







or you could make yourself into a naked sushi table!!!!

Chicken, pancetta/lardons, Sacla red pepper pesto (sundried tomato will do as the other one's hard to find), mushrooms, red peppers optional, erm, that's about it. Add to plain spaghetti (mix altogether or serve on top). Usually add herbs to the mix, maybe just some oregano.

Delicious!
