Valentine’s Day is all about celebrating love, but that doesn’t mean you need to spend hours in the kitchen or break the bank at a fancy restaurant. A cozy night at home can be just as special—especially when you have a delicious homemade meal to enjoy. Whether you’re preparing dinner for your partner, family, or yourself, Rabba has everything you need to create a memorable evening with simple, flavourful dishes.

With just a few easy-to-find ingredients, you can whip up a three-course meal that’s impressive yet stress-free. We’ve put together a perfect Valentine’s Day menu featuring a warm, cheesy appetizer, a restaurant-quality main course, and a rich, comforting dish to round out the night.

Appetizer: Heart-Shaped Cheesy Garlic Bread

There’s no better way to start your Valentine’s meal than with something warm and cheesy. Our Heart-Shaped Cheesy Garlic Bread is the perfect way to set the mood—it’s easy to make, delicious, and fun to share. The combination of crispy bread, melted cheese, and aromatic garlic butter makes for a comforting start to your romantic dinner.

💡 Tip: Pair this appetizer with a glass of sparkling water infused with lemon or berries for a refreshing start to the meal.

Main Course Option 1: Lemon Pasta with Grilled Chicken

For a light yet flavourful entrée, this lemon pasta with grilled chicken is a fantastic choice. The creamy, citrus-infused sauce adds brightness to the dish, while the grilled chicken and Parmesan bring in rich, savoury flavours. The best part? It comes together in just 30 minutes, so you can spend more time enjoying your evening rather than cooking.

Ingredients You’ll Need:
✔️ Pasta (linguine or spaghetti)
✔️ Chicken breasts
✔️ Fresh lemon
✔️ Parmesan cheese

✔️ Garlic
✔️ Olive oil

💡 Tip: Serve this pasta with a side of mixed greens and a simple balsamic vinaigrette for a well-balanced meal. Pair with a beautiful Pinot Noir white wine now available at select Rabba locations.

Dessert: Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries

No Valentine’s Day dinner is complete without dessert, and nothing says romance like chocolate-dipped strawberries. This classic treat is incredibly easy to make—all you need is fresh strawberries and your favourite chocolate. Simply melt the chocolate, dip the strawberries, and let them set in the fridge for a decadent, shareable dessert.

💡 Tip: Drizzle some white chocolate on top for an elegant touch, or sprinkle with crushed nuts for added texture.
