With Valentine’s Day falling onto a week day this year it’s no doubt you’re having a cosy night in.
Below is a lovely dinner for two recipe that’s full of prawns and a creamy sauce that covers the tasty linguine. I love this idea because it’s quick to make and is something out of the ordinary as well. I hope you have a fantastic evening with you and your special Valentine.
