February invites us to slow down and gather around the table. It is a time for lingering dinners, cozy brunches, and meals that feel a little more thoughtful. Valentine’s Day is part of it, of course, but so is celebrating friends, family, and anyone you love cooking for, including yourself.
At Sfoglini, we believe pasta is one of the easiest ways to show care. One pot on the stove, one platter in the center of the table, and a meal that encourages conversation and second helpings. These seven recipes are made for sharing, whether you are planning a romantic dinner, a casual get together, or a relaxed weekend brunch.
