    33 vegetarian valentine's day recipes

    Reading: best vegetarian dish to cook for wife

    Valentine’s weekend is upon us, and we’ll be celebrating at home this year. I rounded up thirty-three of my favorite date night recipes to share with you, organized by appetizers, main dishes, sides, and desserts and drinks.

    You’ll find a heavy dose of Italian recipes in the main dish section (blame the spaghetti scene in Lady and the Tramp?). You’ll also find a few Thai-inspired recipes, which are perfectly romantic. We’re notoriously bad at making reservations and usually end up eating at our favorite Thai restaurant on Valentine’s Day. That’s the way to do it, honestly.

    Some of the recipes are perfect for making in advance, and some, like pizza, are super fun to make with a partner. I included preparation notes, when relevant, to ease your dinner-at-home plans.

    I’ll be back tomorrow with the perfect small scale dessert. I bet you have all of the ingredients in your pantry already!

    Appetizers

    olive parmesan celery party appetizer

    Torn Olives with Almonds, Celery & Parmesan

    Gluten free

    “Made this and it was a hit! The flavors and textures together are so good. I substituted Apple Cider Vinegar because it’s what I had on hand and it turned out great! Thank you!” – Samia

    Prep note: You can prepare this recipe in advance, but mix the almonds in just before serving so they stay crisp.

    fresh spring rolls recipe

    Fresh Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce

    Gluten free and easily vegan

    “This was excellent. My husband said it was the best fresh spring rolls he’s ever eaten. I think they will be a staple at our house.” – Kirsten

    Prep note: These spring rolls are best consumed promptly. Check the recipe notes if you would like to make them an hour or two in advance.

    cheese board recipe

    How to Make a Cheese Board

    Gluten free depending on your cracker selections

    “This is the first cheese board that doesn’t intimidate me (physically and financially!) – can’t wait to try it out! We’ve got nut allergies so I might switch those out for pepitas or pretzels!” – Rebecca

    Prep note: You can absolutely make a cheese board for just two people. Buy three different cheeses and save the leftovers for another cheese board soon!

    green goddess hummus recipe

    Green Goddess Hummus

    Gluten free and vegan

    “My niece is a new vegetarian and I bought your cookbook for her for Christmas. This hummus recipe has been made many times and is one of our favorites. The herbs add a wonderfully refreshing flavor. We love it!” – Marea

    Main Dishes

    Easy Brown Rice Risotto with Mushrooms and Fresh Oregano

    Easy Brown Rice Risotto with Mushrooms and Fresh Oregano

    Gluten free

    “Made this for my husband and I for dinner tonight – oh my goodness it is one of the best meals we’ve ever made/devoured. I tend to manage to screw up recipes quite well, but had absolutely no issues making this, such a breeze! We are trying to incorporate more yummy vego meals into our weeks and this is 100% going to be a new regular! Only managed to save one serving for tomorrow’s lunch, so that is a definite sign of a 10/10 meal!” – Beka

    Prep note: This risotto miraculously does not require constant stirring. It tastes best with a splash of white wine, so there’s your drink of the evening. Leftovers are amazing, so this one can be made ahead of time.

    pasta alla norma recipe

    Pasta alla Norma

    Easily gluten free and easily vegan

    “I have no words to explain how delicious this pasta dish is! I actually made for lunch (I’m retired! ) and after my partner and I devoured it, I had to decide if I was gonna keep the other two servings for tomorrow, or share them with someone I knew would also love it. Which is just about everyone I know! I ended up giving the leftovers to my vegetarian neighbours, and they raved about it. Best. Eggplant. Recipe. Ever.” – Luana

    best stuffed shells recipe

    Best Stuffed Shells

    Vegetarian

    “As a passionate home cook I am always dubious about a recipe with “best” in its name. However, I made this recipe following directions to a T, and man, it did not disappoint! I did do half with homemade marinara (for me) and half with homemade bolognese (for hubby) and we both devoured our meal. We have left overs for 1.5 meals and I froze another 2 servings. Vibrant colors and flavors made this a success in my home! I I’ll be looking at your recipes for other suggestions.” – Kate

    Prep note: You can assemble the shells (through step 7) and store the baker in the refrigerator until ready to bake.

    best veggie pizza recipe

    Ultimate Veggie Pizza

    Vegetarian

    “I feel like this pizza single-handedly saved my life. It is THAT good. The first time I made it I didn’t have any mozzarella on hand, so I used ricotta instead. Lord Almighty, the creamy ricotta played beautifully with all the veggies and and textures – so much so that I can’t even bring myself to make it with the mozzarella. Also, almonds? On pizza? Who knew I needed this? I have literally been transformed. 10/10 would recommend to all my friends. Thanks for this gem!” – Amanda

    Prep note: My go-to whole wheat pizza dough recipe does not require any rising time, so you can make this pizza at dinner time.

    kale coconut stir-fry recipe

    Spicy Kale and Coconut Fried Rice

    Gluten free and easily vegan

    “This may be my favorite recipe from Cookie and Kate! My boyfriend always requests it when I make dinner.” – Kiley

    healthy baked ziti recipe

    Baked Ziti with Roasted Vegetables

    Vegetarian

    “I was worried that this meatless dish would not satisfy my carnivore husband, but it is filled with flavor & he loved it! Putting it in my meal rotation! I used sweet potatoes and garlic along with the cauliflower, red peppers and onion.” – Susan

    Prep note: This ziti can be assembled up to 3 days in advance. For a smaller shortcut, roast the veggies in advance and refrigerate until you’re ready to assemble.

    This roasted butternut risotto tastes heavenly and hardly requires any stirring! familycuisine.net

    Roasted Butternut Squash Risotto

    Gluten free

    “I’ve honestly made this dish so many times, and it has impressed everyone I have cooked for! It’s so flavorful and one of my favorite recipes!” – Millie

    Prep note: Same as the mushroom risotto. This risotto does not require constant stirring (yay!). It tastes best with a splash of white wine, so there’s your drink of the evening. Leftovers are amazing, so this one can be made ahead of time.

    Homemade broccolini pizza with almonds (optional), mozzarella and red sauce! The trick to making awesome broccolini pizza is to blanch the broccolini first.

    Broccolini Almond Pizza

    Vegetarian

    This Italian eggplant Parmesan recipe is lighter than most—it

    Italian Eggplant Parmesan

    Gluten free

    “This is hands-down the best eggplant Parmesan recipe on the planet. We’ve been making it for a few years, and it’s a household staple for special occasions like birthdays and celebrations. It has the perfect amount of sauce and rich eggplant flavor, which really comes out from the roasting process. We sometimes add lasagna noodles make it a little bit heartier. I cannot recommend this recipe enough!” – Gwyneth

    Prep note: This dish can be assembled in advance and refrigerated until you’re ready to bake. Since it will be starting off cold, the dish may require a little extra time in the oven.

    Seriously the best vegetable lasagna recipe! This vegetarian lasagna is packed with fresh veggies and spinach. #vegetarian #lasagna #veggies

    Best Vegetable Lasagna

    Easily gluten free, for vegan make my Best Vegan Lasagna

    “Love this recipe. I have made it several times and it always turns out delicious. I usually prepare it the day before cooking, then just let it sit out for an hour before baking. This recipe is the easiest and most delicious lasagna I have ever made. Thank you. : ))” – Beth

    Prep note: This recipe can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator. You can let it warm to room temperature as Beth suggests, or bake it straight from the fridge knowing that the chilled lasagna may need some extra time in the oven.

    roasted asparagus recipe

    Perfect Roasted Asparagus

    Gluten free and vegan

    “Asparagus just showed up at the farmers market this week, and I bought a bunch just in time to try this recipe! 🙂 I did the lemon variation and it turned out beautifully.

    The New Old Fashioned Cocktail
