I’ll take pasta over flowers any day of the week.

With that in mind, we asked Ashley Rodriguez — the food blogger behind Not Without Salt and the recipe book Date Night In — for ideas for a memorable DIY meal for two.
“If ever there was a day to date in, Valentine's Day is it,” Rodriguez told BuzzFeed Life. “No need to fight for a reservation. No pressure to leave your table before you're ready to go.”
So to help you plan your own romantic evening at home, Rodriguez came up with this delicious three-course dinner that you and your date can cook and enjoy together.
You can find full recipes for everything at the bottom of this post.
First up? The drink: An easy Aperol Spritz.
With Prosecco, gin, soda water, and citrus.

Then, the starter: A fresh kale salad with apples, currants, and Parmesan.
Not a kale fan? Sub in your favorite green.
