Dinner For Two

My sister and I had a lovely little Valentine's candle-lit dinner together, as our sweethearts are currently long distance. We had ravioli with garlic, walnuts, and goat cheese over a bed of wilted spinach.

Wilted is really the only way to have spinach. The trick is to throw it in the pan for just a moment, give it a quick stir, and pour it onto the plate, letting the ravioli or whatever do the rest of the wilting.


Goat cheese is one of my absolute favorites. Its creamy tangyness brings this dish up a notch or two. If you want to use walnuts as a dressing like this, make sure to cook them - in lots of butter.



Ground salt and fresh cracked pepper and voila! Quick, beautiful, and tasty with a helping of iron. All you need is a glass of wine and a French film.
