For Valentine’s day I’m cooking Pasta Innamorati – which is meatless yet its rich, creamy, heartwarming flavors will make your sweetie feel special. A few years ago, when a co-worker came back from a vacation in Italy with her boyfriend, she was in such a state of passionate exuberance that she happily shared this recipe with me which she learned on her trip. I tried it a few times and it has become a favorite at our home.

The thick, cream sauce coats the languid, long fettuccine noodles. As you twirl the pasta with your fork, the slivers of sweet-savory sun-dried tomatoes cling and you have no choice but to savor each bite with relish. It is a decadent-tasting dish yet quite simple to prepare very quickly.

Skip the long restaurant lines and don’t bother with the hard-to-get reservations during Valentine’s, which really has become a full blown commercialized holiday. Instead, enjoy a cozy evening at home with the one you love and indulge on this easy to cook pasta meal. It’s so scrumptious that you’ll find yourself cooking this dish way beyond Valentine’s day, as you should. After all, everyday is a reason to love.

    Cook’s Comments: Sun-dried tomatoes can be bought dried in a package or bottled in olive oil, as described in this recipe. If you have the dried tomatoes in a plastic package, soak them for 8 to 10 minutes in hot water to soften. For easier slicing, use scissors. And feel free to substitute any pasta that you prefer if fettuccine is not available
