Simple Dinner Recipes for Two

So many recipes out there are great for families, but what if you’re just cooking for a couple of people? These Simple Dinner Recipes for Two are ideal when you’re looking for a smaller portion. Perfect for date night or just a weeknight meal for you and your partner!

When it comes to these dinners for two, I find myself coming back over and over to this simple but elegant Pasta with Lobster Sauce! Some other fantastic options are this Pesto Prosciutto Pasta or a comforting and nostalgic French Onion Chicken.
