A delicious, romantic, and easy recipe to cook for my boyfriend?

I'm cooking my boyfriend dinner for getting into med school. I don't cook very often (I've burnt brownies I tried making him once!) so I'm not very kitchen savvy. Does anyone have any ideas or recipes that I could use? He doesn't like anything with beef, so no steaks or anything like that. And, I have only about an hour and half to prepare the meal and cook it for him.





I need a main course meal and dessert idea!

********QUICK AND EASY CHICKEN ALFREDO


2 chicken breast sliced


2 jars Alfredo sauce


2 c. mushrooms


1 lb. fettuccine or any pasta


2 tsp. butter


Saut茅 chicken and mushrooms in butter until lightly brown. Pour in Alfredo sauce over chicken and let simmer for about 5-7 minutes. Pour mixture over cooked fettuccine or pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.





*********CHICKEN CACCIATORE


3 to 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast


1 jar spaghetti sauce


1 sm. can sliced olives


1 sm. onion, chopped


2 each celery stock, sliced


1 c. mushrooms, slices


1 c. carrots (optional) or any vegetable desired


1 pkg. macaroni (shells, elbow, etc.)


Cut chicken in bite size pieces. In crock pot, combine chicken, spaghetti sauce, olives, onion, celery, mushrooms and carrots. Cook on low 6 to 7 hours or high 3 to 4 hours. Cook macaroni. Place macaroni in bowl, spoon Chicken Cacciatore over.





Great with french bread and a salad.





********BANANA AND STRAWBERRY PUDDING


1 box of Jello French Vanilla Instant pudding


1 box of Jello Banana Cream Instant pudding


milk


1 large container of Whipped cream


3-4 ripe bananas


1 small carton of strawberries


1 bag of the cheapest vanilla wafers (they stay crunchy longer)


The amount of layers depends on the dish it is prepared in. I use an 11x9 in. glass casserole dish.


In a bowl combine both boxes of pudding mix and prepare according to the package directions omitting 1 cup of milk.


Fold half of the whipped cream into the pudding mixture. Now make a layer of vanilla wafers on the bottom of your casserole dish (none of the wafers should be on top of one another), then slice bananas over the wafers until you get an even cover but you should still be able to see the first layer.


Now slice strawberries over the bananas. The next layer will be the pudding. Start over with the vanilla wafers, continue layer up to the pudding.


After you've applied a layer of pudding, line the sides of the pan with wafers. Take the rest of the whipped cream and spread it on top.


Crush the remaining wafers and crumbs, and then sprinkle them on top of whipped cream.


Optional: Garnish top with strawberries.A delicious, romantic, and easy recipe to cook for my boyfriend?

PASTA! you can't go wrong with preparing a nice light simple pasta. Make sure you don't over cook the thing though.





You can cook some bow tie pasta, chop up some fresh tomato's, buy cooked chicken breast meat, dice some celery or bell peppers, and use a light marinara /tomato sauce. Also you can take a slice of bread and sprinkled garlic power and salt to make garlic toast.





Crack open a can of Campbells soup for an appetizer





For desert buy some premade cookie doe and squish them together to make one giant cookie. Once the cookie is done baking, make sure it doesn't burn! put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top to make a cookie a-la-mode.





Good luck sweetie! and I'm sure whatever you choose to make your boyfriend will love it!
pasta! try a carbonara or something like that. easy and delicious. but don't cook spaghetti, use penne or something like that, as spaghetti or fettucine is too messy.





dessert try a nice chocolate pudding.
I always go for pasta and sauce. They;re pretty easy to make. Just buy pasta and some Prego sauce. For dessert make something simple like ice-cream or a milkshake you two could share. I've done that for my parents before. it only took me half-an hour because I was using an instant sauce mix just add water and boil while stirring add some sausages or mushrooms to the sauce to make it taste better. Bon Apetit.
