Wine and dine with an elegant and polished lobster wellington, sure to impress any date. Seasoned spinach and mushrooms balance the natural sweetness of the lobster and the pastry adds a nice, buttery note.

Date night just got a lot easier — and less expensive. Here's a traditional surf-and-turf dinner with all the sides, but without the steakhouse prices or any complicated prep. Using just one sheet pan makes it a quick cleanup.

A five-star dinner is worth the effort. It begins with homemade duxelles-a mixture of finely chopped mushrooms, shallots and herbs, slowly cooked in butter until a thick paste forms-and wraps prosciutto around a beef tenderloin.

Lemon and garlic give great flavor to roast chicken that is simple to prepare but will definitely impress. Rub the bird with olive oil before roasting to get an extra-crispy skin.

Gnocchi is the perfect dish if you want to cook together on Valentine's Day. You don't need a ton of ingredients and, no matter what the little potato dumplings look like, they'll taste delicious!

With a few little tricks, you can transform a regular pepperoni pizza into a special heart-shaped treat. We take a few shortcuts, like store-bought pizza dough and sauce, so that it comes together quickly, but don't worry, we won't tell anyone it wasn't a labor of love.

Cozy and comforting, gratin is always a hit. Pro tip for a seamless date night: Put the dish together ahead of time and start with some light apps while the gratin is in the oven. Then you can play the "Oh this? It's nothing." card when you execuse a perfectly timed dinner.

It might be better to use frozen spinach, since quite a bit of the greens are needed to get the proper texture for homemade ravioli. Don't blend it too much, so when you take a bite you can taste the individual ingredients.
