Valentine's Feast

On Valentine's Day, we indulged in four courses from our favorite restaurant...in the comforts of our own home. To celebrate the day of love, Spaghettini Italian Grill & Jazz Club offered a prix fixe menu that was available for pickup. Seeing as how you had to make reservations months in advance to dine-in on such a special night -- Joe and I were thrilled about the idea.
The decadent meal started off with a bottle of Champagne, a plate of shrimp cocktail and a caesar salad. The star of the night? Penne pasta with tomato vodka cream sauce and free-range roasted chicken and tomatoes. The wonderful meal was topped off with a heart-shaped (it was Valentine's Day, after all) red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting and rimmed with crushed walnuts.
And, it just wouldn't be Valentine's Day without chocolate covered strawberries.
