Cooking for others is its own wonderful love language, but it’s a different kind of special to cook together—and it’s a great excuse to try something outside your comfort zone. Maybe it’s something a bit more involved that benefits from an extra set of hands, like fresh pasta. Maybe it’s a fun DIY-style dinner that you assemble as you go. Either way, it will require your attention, some communication, and a little creativity. A sense of humor is also recommended for when things don’t turn out as expected (nailing those perfect dumpling pleats will take a few tries). THE COUPLE THAT PREPS TOGETHER Recipes that are more fun to make with an extra set of hands. PIZZA Mix the dough, toss it into pillowy circles, top it with all your favorites, and bake it to cheesy, crusty perfection. Che Fico Pizza Dough GP loved this pizza so much, she asked Che Fico chef and co-owner David Nayfeld to show us how it’s done. GET RECIPE Brussels Sprouts, Pancetta, and Ricotta Pizza This take on a white pie is lighter than most. The cheeses and pancetta provide richness, which is nicely balanced by the savory cruciferous Brussels sprouts, and the bright lemon juice at the end wakes up your palate. GET RECIPE Margherita Pizza The secret to this pie is its simplicity, so go for great-quality ingredients. GET RECIPE PASTA Making pasta is so enjoyable, especially with a partner. Take the opportunity to try a few different shapes and filled pastas, too. Pasta Dough From Roberta’s Cookbook, an easy-to-make pasta dough for all occasions. GET RECIPE Three-Cheese Tortellini en Brodo The tender pasta dough, creamy ricotta, garlicky broth, and salty Parmesan combine to make an incredible bite. GET RECIPE Mushroom, Greens, and Goat Cheese Ravioli Umami-rich mushrooms, earthy spinach, and tart yet creamy goat cheese. GET RECIPE DUMPLINGS Dumpling fillings are usually quick to whip up, and then it becomes a folding and pleating game. You can keep it simple with store-bought wrappers or try your hand at a homemade dough—we like this dumpling and dough recipe from The Woks of Life. Chicken, Cabbage, and Zucchini Dumplings Green onions and ginger give that classic dumpling flavor, and we love the added heft from the cabbage and zucchini. GET RECIPE Spring Veggie Dumplings These little veggie-packed green dumplings taste light and fresh. GET RECIPE Five-Spice Squash Dumplings Roasted squash makes a delicious filling, especially with the warming Chinese five-spice blend.

LETTUCE WRAPS Cool, crisp lettuce filled with hearty proteins or cooked veggies, and so many different crunchy toppers and savory sauces so that no two wraps are alike. Yellowfin Red Romaine Wraps If you’re not into fish, this is also great with sliced grilled rib eye. GET RECIPE Eggplant, Tofu, and Cauliflower Lettuce Cups We love the traditional pork bo ssam and wanted a meat-free version that would still carry those savory, spicy flavors with some crispy texture. GET RECIPE Pork Lettuce Cups with Nuoc Cham Douse your lettuce cups in nuoc cham and you’ll be in umami heaven. GET RECIPE CHICKEN SKEWERS Grilling is already such a fun way to cook, and it’s even better if you’re able to be outside. We love making skewers because they’re highly customizable. Turmeric Chicken Kebabs Feel free to change up the veggies—this one is super riffable.
