Date Night Vegan Pasta Recipes
Going out to dinner on date night is always fun but sometimes after a long week, I’d rather stay at home, relax, open a bottle of wine, and dig into a tasty pasta dish with the hubs. Ever feel like this too?
Pasta has always been my favorite food. You might have guessed by all the pasta recipes I have on my site (my Cashew Mac & Cheese, Thai Basil Noodles, and Ranch Pasta Salad are a few to check out). So it’s no wonder I think of pasta when I think of romance.
