Valentine's Dinner

Pink alfredo sauce, heart shaped meatballs, heart noodles, red peppers and tomatoes!

This was an impromptu dinner for Valentine's Day.  Hearts...so much fun and an easy shape to create!  I just used my basic meatloaf recipe so you can do what you want with the meat but just place it on the grill in a heart shape.  It does change shape a little bit as it cooks so really exaggerate the heart lobes so that you can tell it is a heart after it is cooked.  I bought some heart shaped noodles but you can also add food colouring to the boiling water for noodles and make red or pink noodles.  I just used a basic alfredo sauce from a jar and added pink food colouring, it looks a little toxic but my kids loved it and it does not change the taste of the alfredo.  Then, to make a well-roudned meal, I added some red peppers and tomatoes.... why?  It is V-Day, we need red and pink food.
