5 Easy Vegetarian Meals
Whether you are a vegetarian, just looking for some meatless meals or observing Lent, here are five of my favorite all-veggie meals.


Tagliatelle with Roasted Tomatoes & Pesto Ricotta. A quick and flavorful dinner. Grape tomatoes are roasted until they are bursting with caramelization. A simple pesto ricotta makes the creamy and luscious sauce that just grabs onto those strands of tagliatelle. I love pasta dishes because it is so incredibly versatile! Truly, the flavor and ingredient combination possibilities are endless.

Escarole & Bean Soup. Rustic, simple Italian bowl of comfort right here. Dinner is on the table in 30 minutes with this delicious recipe. Serve along with some nice rustic crusty Italian bread. This simple meal right here is something I grew up eating, especially when grandma and grandpa were visiting.

I have to tell you, this Quinoa Fried Rice really turned out even better then I expected! This health-ified takeout dish doesn’t leave you unsatisfied in the least bit. It tastes just like fried rice without the rice! Quinoa is such a super healthy grain that gives you a pack of protein, fiber, vitamins and nutrients and truly works perfectly in this dish. I've got edamame, carrots and scrambled egg in there to elevate the flavor and adding to the heartiness of this healthy dish.

There are certain Italian classics that I just adore and Eggplant Rollatini is certainly one of them! This dish is such a comfort food for me. Having grown up in a very Italian home, this was a staple. Crisp eggplant rolled with a mixture of ricotta, pecorino and mozzarella along with seasonings. This is a winner!

Springtime is almost here {YAY} and that means is asparagus season! Asparagus and lemon is a great fresh combo and that paired with creamy risotto is so good! This Lemon Asparagus Risotto is absolutely delicious and actually pretty darn easy too with a little patience! Risotto is such a beautiful and elegant dish, an Italian classic. This Lemon Asparagus Risotto is bright, fresh & a perfect vegetarian meal.
