Valentine's Day Hearts Pasta
Hello, friends!

Today I’m bringing a simple and sweet Valentine’s Day Hearts Pasta recipe to the table. This recipe is perfect for a date night at home, or to prepare for Valentine’s Day! It’s perfect when you need something in a flash, and the baked-in-the-oven finishing touch really helps to create a deliciously cheesy dish.

For the pasta of this dish, I’m using Barilla® Collezione Orecchiette from Kroger. It cooks up nicely and gives your dinner the artisanal taste you crave. Barilla is the #1 choice of Italy, and it’s definitely a brand we trust to use in our recipes. And bonus, you can grab the pasta and everything else needed right at Kroger!
