Date Night Bruschetta Recipe Audra: The quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach of course. Rhiannon is in the kitchen with Better’s Food dude Kevin Roberts heating up Date Night in today’s Better Advice. Rhiannon: He’s a TV chef, a cookbook author and also a restaurant owner and did you know Kevin is also a hopeless romantic. That is so sweet. Kevin: It’s better than hapless. Rhiannon: Nothing says romance like a nice Italian dinner. Kevin: Exactly. Date night, obviously is it roscetto or bruschetta? Rhiannon: Bruschetta. Kevin: Bruschetta. So bruschetta really simple tomatoes, garlic, basil, my trick of that a little parmesan cheese in it. Rhiannon, that sparks the appetizer up. That starts to beef up perfectly. Now my veggie lives on your rules. I may grab a couple of noodles right. Rhiannon: These are going to be delicious. He’s got an under control over there. Kevin: Oh yeah, just a couple of noodles. Rhiannon: Okay, veggie lasagna roll, sound difficult but you're making them easy for us. Kevin: Yeah. All right, so there we go. Now ricotta cheese, you can add veggies, you know, obviously if you're vegetarian or you know your sausages, your meats, whatever you want. Rhiannon: So any veggies. Is this some broccoli? Kevin: Absolutely. I got broccolis, zucchini, little mushrooms. It’s -- date night, it’s whatever you kind of want to eat, right? Rhiannon: Why the egg yolk? Kevin: The egg yolk is like glue, you know, kind of keeps everything stuck together. And I like to throw to a little parmesan cheese. Now I’ll cut this parmesan cheese in half because we’re going to use half later. All right, so we’re mixing all this up. And grab your spatula. Rhiannon: Got it. Kevin: Because now, we are going to roll our lasagnas. Nice and simple, okay, here we go. We’re going to basically -- Rhiannon: Put as much as you want or how many --? Kevin: Yeah, go with that, but you're going to evenly spread it through the noodle. Rhiannon: Okay, through the whole entire noodle? Kevin: Yeah and roll. Don’t worry about stuff coming out the edges. Rhiannon: We want that. Kevin: Yeah, we want that. Look at that. And they’re basically individual portions too. Now of course, so your veggie lasagna rolls don’t stick. We’re going to add a little lubricant, right? A little tomato sauce, a little marinara, now lets throw ours in. Rhiannon: Is it okay that’s mine is busted open, so we’re good? Kevin: Oh yeah. Oh come on, yeah. So you look at that and always seem side down, right, so it doesn’t unravel. Mine looks a little a prettier; I'm going to tell you right now. Rhiannon: It looks a lot prettier. Kevin: All right, a little parmesan cheese on top, right? In the oven, 350, 20 minutes, so look Rhiannon. Rhiannon: 20 minutes later and it look delicious. Kevin: Now it’s dessert time, but these are my sweet and sassy dark chocolate covered strawberries. Dark chocolate, aphrodisiac high in flavonoids -- grab some fresh red hot. Rhiannon: We’re putting the hot sauce in our chocolate. Kevin: You know I put that sauce in everything. Put it in. Rhiannon: Okay. Kevin: Put it in. Rhiannon: How much? Kevin: The more, the better. Rhiannon: All right. Kevin: Remember, also hot sauce is an aphrodisiac too. It stimulates all your -- what are they? Neuro-- Rhiannon: Neuro something or some things. Kevin: Endorphins? Yeah, all right. Rhiannon: Okay. Kevin: Mix that up. Rhiannon: Mix it up. Kevin: All right, and we’ll start dipping. Rhiannon: I don’t believe we just put hot sauce in our chocolate covered strawberries. Kevin: All right, grab a strawberry. Rhiannon: These are going to be fun to taste. Kevin: Now the trick is usually, so they don’t stick, you got to have a little thing of wax paper. Look at that. A little wax paper. I want to --. What a date night that is. Rhiannon: Yeah. So now I'm going to try one because it got hot sauce. Kevin: Okay, sure. Rhiannon: It does give it a little kick. Kevin: You got a little bite to it.
