Walter: Jan?

Jan: Yes?

Walter: What in the world do you have in that skillet?

Jan: This is onions and garlic, because you can't start anything better than that.

Walter: Onions and garlic. Smells heavenly in here.

Jan: It does.

Walter: And you're making love letter pasta.

Jan: I am. And I told you -- this was funny -- I thought that this was a really classic Italian dish, and it turns out I made it all up.

Walter: Good.

Jan: So, anyway.

Walter: Well, maybe . . . well, you're classic. You don't look that Italian, but . . .

Jan: Well, yeah. There's nothing there that's Italian. All I did was I sauteed up some shrimp.

Walter: Uh-huh.

Jan: And I pulled them off, and then in the same skillet . . .

Walter: Yeah.

Jan: . . . I've got an onion and a couple cloves of garlic.

Walter: Garlic.

Jan: Okay? So I let those start to turn golden.

Walter: Right.

Jan: And I've got one can of petite diced tomatoes.

Walter: Diced tomatoes.

Jan: Yes. And I have actually done this with tomato sauce as well.

Walter: Mm-hmm.

Jan: It's just, whatever you like. Okay?

Walter: It just wouldn't be as pretty.

Jan: Well, that's true.

Walter: Yeah.

Jan: Now, we've talked about this.

Walter: Uh-huh.

Jan: We have talked about this.

Walter: I'm not the one putting this in.

Jan: I'm going to put it in, because it's fabulous. It's a cup of white wine, and it's a dry white. Now, if for some reason you don't want to use wine . . .

Walter: Yes.

Jan: . . . you can use a cup of regular chicken broth and use a little bit of white wine vinegar with it, because it does need that acid.

Walter: All right.

Jan: All right. So a tablespoon of oregano.

Walter: Okay.

Jan: Okay? And then all we're going to do, at this point, is give it a little sprinkle of salt.

Walter: Mm-hmm.

Jan: Okay? And a pinch of red pepper.

Walter: Mm-hmm.

Jan: And then normally . . .

Walter: And then you wash your hands real carefully so that you don't get it in your eyes.

Jan: Yeah. Well, you don't want to rub your eyes with that.

Walter: Yeah.

Jan: Now, normally you'd let this simmer . . .

Walter: Mm-hmm.

Jan: . . . until it had started to reduce.

Walter: Right.

Jan: Okay? But we're not going to do that.

Walter: Okay.

Jan: Over here, what I've got are whole-grain lasagna noodles. Now, if you're doing this and you want it to be white, which shows up really nice against the pink and the red, then go ahead and use regular. But . . .

Walter: I just assumed that these love letters were on parchment paper.

Jan: No. No, we're going to eat our love letters.

Walter: Yes.

Jan: I took lasagna noodles and, see, I broke them into pieces.

Walter: Yes.

Jan: Okay. So I cooked these just under being done.

Walter: But now, be careful about breaking them into pieces.

Jan: How come?

Walter: Because this might become broken heart pasta.

Jan: Well, in that case, you can get your girlfriend, finish off the bottle of wine and have all you want.

Walter: I had a good friend who always broke up with his girlfriend the week before Valentine's and made up the week after.

Jan: That's because he was stingy.

Walter: Yeah. And he's stingy enough that he's now very rich, and I'm broke. But that's a whole different issue.

Jan: All right. We'll bring that up to a simmer. We're going to throw our shrimp back in there, right on top.

Walter: Right.

Jan: Stir it in.

Walter: Mm-hmm.

Jan: And this . . .

Walter: Is the finished product.

Jan: . . . is the finished product. And you give it a little sprinkle of fresh basil and a little fresh parsley, and it is out of this world.

Walter: Folks, this is so good. I don't know whether you can get it made for dinner or not, but it's all right for a romantic dinner for two when it's not Valentine's Day, right? You got the recipe.
