-anchovies.html to scale it for two and bump up the broccoli while using some high-fibre pasta for added nutrients! Don't be freaked out by the anchovy paste - it melts into the garlic, pepper and cheese to create a nutty note!
This recipe was a splurge meal for Valentine's Day, merely put into the recipes for calorie calculation. Evaporated low fat milk is slightly lighter than using heavy cream, but still hardly a "diet' meal!
Serve over pasta with a delicious, summery salad for an easy delicious romantic dinner.
Lobster-laced homemade pasta gets wrapped up in a chunky seafood marinara sauce before being finished with fresh herbs. Whatever you do, don't mask the delicate flavour of the seafood with cheese - if you *need* a topping, a sprinkling of breadcrumbs will suffice. If you are extremely adverse to cooking your own lobsters, most fish counters will cook your purchase for you. Just make sure the lobsters are, in fact, alive before you hand them over (some lesser places will cook already dead stock to make a sale).

The heat from two kinds of fresh peppers gets mellowed out by cooling lime, sweet tomatoes and buttery shrimp. I definitely recommend using fresh, in season tomatoes for this, right off the vine cherry tomatoes from your own backyard if possible! Adapted from Weight Watchers.
A light, saffron-infused sauce with fresh tomatoes, mussels and garlic enrobes chunky spiral pasta and green beans. 36 mussels are about 1 1/2 lbs in-shell.
This tangy, lightly dressed salad of mixed lettuce (iceberg for crunch, romaine for classic flavour) and combined crab leg meat and surimi is the perfect meal for two. I don't like croutons or cheese, bu go for it if that's your thing.
Adapted from Chatelaine. This is an awesome summer dinner for two after you've been out gardening - it really makes you appreciate what the garden can bring to your table! It's cheap, too, if your garden is as plentiful as most are in the summer months!
Adapted from chef Richard Boulay, this spicy fish dish is perfectly balanced between the wasabi's fire, the salmon's richness and the lime's tang. A touch of panko forms a delicious crust for a texture contrast.
AKA pasta al cartoccio, this is a deliciously steamed, low-fat pasta and seafood meal that is a hit when you serve them at parties or with a romantic dinner.
This is a great shrimp dish for lunch or dinner. Flavors combine very well and create a wonderful aroma.
The flavours of my favourite shrimp jambalaya, but without the rice or okra common to the dish. I actually love this saucy mix on Israeli couscous or even pasta! If you can't find fish stock (I find cubes in Italian markets), use clam juice or vegetable broth. I use Creole Seasoning as my Creole seasoning.
Delicious, flavour-packed Italian restaurant-style fare at home, on a dieter's
A flavourful, whole-wheat and seafood dish with the sweet and savoury blend of aromas and tastes from Morocco. Add a pinch of saffron to the couscous if you have it for an even deeper layer of flavour.
Took Shrimp and Tomato Pasta Recipe and reduced it to something we could have for the two of us - added our favorite veggies - mushrooms and broccoli. A hearty Meal
My sister invented this: it is a combination of my brother-in-law's tuna recipe and my sister's rotini recipe and the result tastes fantastic! (It ought to, since it's high in calories, so keep that in mind. ;))
This pizza uses a classic combination of Mediterranean flavours which will really seduce the taste buds. Dairy free since I can't have milk and soy cheese is (IMHO) gross! Adapted from Weight Watchers, and an awesome weekend lunch or light dinner.
With a light salad on the side, this rich cheesy pasta makes for a fast and decadent meal any night of the week - even if you're on a diet! 5 POINTS for Weight Watchers.
This is a hearty bowl of food - tons of shrimp and tender kale tossed in a tangy-sweet dressing and toothsome brown rice, topped off with a handful of shredded nori for good measure!
