The effort to cook a special dinner just for two people ranks up there with the most romantic gestures of all times. But Valentine’s Day often falls on a weeknight. So here’s a simple yet brightly flavored weeknight menu that comes together so quickly an hour leaves you time to light candles all over the house.
Better yet, it’s not rich: Only 22 percent of the calories in the entire meal comes from fat. Lovers’ hearts, after all, should be occupied with warmer thoughts than those of health risks.
