Valentine’s Day Dinner Menu
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, it is time to start thinking about the impressive meal you want to cook for your loved one. A homemade dinner is a romantic gesture that is thoughtful and delicious! The secret, that many people don’t know, is that the recipe doesn’t have to be complicated in order for the dish to be incredible! Using high quality products instantly elevates any recipe. Due Sorelle makes the work easy by curating a selection of quality pastas, olive oils, vinegars, and more! Let us help you plan your Valentine’s Day menu!
To start, we recommend the Panzanella Salad. The dressing on this salad is the highlight, it features the Condimento Blanco white vinegar. This vinegar adds a hint of sweetness to the dressing along with a delicious brightness! The ciabatta is toasted with the Chianti Classico Extra Virgin Olive Oil that is full of fresh olive flavors. This salad is quick to prepare while being full of flavor!
Our favorite entrée for this upcoming Valentine’s Day is our Tagliolini Tomato Pasta with a sun-dried tomato and basil pesto. This recipe is perfect because the bright red color of the tomato pasta is festive and beautiful while also adding a rich flavor to your dish! The high-quality Chianti Classico Extra Virgin Olive Oil brightens the pesto and compliments the fresh basil. The pasta and pesto are delicious on its own, but it will also pair lovely with sautéed shrimp, spicy Italian sausage, or grilled chicken. This meal is the perfect combination of rich and bright that will instantly be impressive!
For the dessert, instead of the classic strawberries and chocolate, we suggest macerated raspberry oranges paired with vanilla gelato and the Gold Label Balsamic Vinegar. The oranges have a slightly sweet and tart flavor along with a hint of cinnamon and mint. They are delicious on their own but serving it with high quality vanilla gelato brings it to the next level. I know no one thinks of putting balsamic vinegar on their ice cream, but that is just because you haven’t tried our Gold Label Balsamic Vinegar. It is syrupy straight out of the bottle and has a beautiful, sweet richness to it. It compliments the vanilla and the tartness of the oranges. This balsamic will become your new favorite ice cream topping and create a truly complex and amazing dessert!
