Newly Nesting: Date Night

Anyone that has ever been on the receiving end of a busy, preoccupied spouse knows that having a "date night" can be a relationship saver. It allows you to stop whatever it is that you're doing and focus on one another. Many couples start off strong on the date night front, but after some time passes and they start living together, it's easy to slack. You start considering sleeping next to one another as "couple time" and rushed conversations as you get ready for work bonding and actually connecting.

My husband and I like to have a standing "Pizza Night" in our household so instead of ordering in we went the Boboli route. We chose to make their "New York" pizza and devoured the entire thing - - it was delicious!

Do you have a date night ritual?

Ingredients

1 12" Boboli® Thin Pizza Crust
1 5-oz. pkg. Boboli® Pizza Sauce
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
2 c. Italian 3-cheese blend, shredded
2 oz. pepperoni, sliced

Directions

Preheat oven to 450° F.
Bake time: 10 – 12 minutes

In a small bowl, combine olive oil and Italian seasoning. Brush the oil and herb mixture around the outer edge of the crust. Spread pizza sauce onto crust, leaving a 1" border around the crust. Arrange the cheese and pepperoni on top of the sauce, and bake for 10 – 12 minutes until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden brown.
