Buitoni, the maker of refrigerated pastas and sauces, invites you to enter the Buitoni Date Night-In Sweepstakes now at www.facebook.com/BuitoniUSA.

By selecting and submitting a shareable Buitoni recipe e-card by March 3, consumers will be eligible for a chance to win a personal cooking demonstration with Chef Ted Allen, host of Food Network’s “Chopped.”

“Date Night should be a time for couples to re-connect, but it can be challenging to do that in a crowded restaurant or movie theatre,” says Allen, who will offer the Buitoni sweepstakes Grand Prize winner tips for creating a special Date Night-In with Buitoni pastas and sauces.

“I’ve always thought that cooking with or for someone is one of the most sincere – but simple – gestures to show you care.”

To enter the sweepstakes, consumers can visit facebook.com/BuitoniUSA by March 3 and follow the directions to submit their entry. They will be required to select a Buitoni recipe from those featured.

Next, as an optional activity, consumers will be prompted to upload a photo and provide a description, in 150 characters or less, of their ideal date night (it won’t affect their entry’s chances of winning for consumers who choose not to do this).
