itll eventually get a stale taste, but it takes a *long* time and helps if you put it in an airtight container instead of leaving in the box

You can also add vegan parmesan.


Vegan Baked Ziti

Cook Ziti to al dente. Make above sauce but omit tofu and parsley. For the vegan ricotta combine the following, keeping in mind you want a really creamy texture:

I pound smashed extra firm tofu
Tofu sour cream (I use Tofutti brand, a couple of big heaping spoonfuls)
Chopped fresh parsley (or dried)
Vegan parmesan
Breadcrumbs (can be Italian seasoned)
Lemon-pepper blend seasoning (just a few shakes)
Dried basil
Oregano
Crushed red pepper
Ground rosemary (just a pinch)
Salt and pepper

Pre-heat oven to 350. In a big bowl combine cooked pasta, a couple of ladles of the sauce, and the ricotta. In a baking pan, ladle a bit of sauce on the bottom, then pour in pasta/tofu mixture. Pour a bit more sauce on top. Sprinkle with Vegan parmesan and bake covered until hot.

I have tons more recipes (a lot that are not sauce based) at home (I'm at work now) but these two I made up and know. I'm Italian, and anything with sauce I was born knowing how to make...
thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!! I'm Italian too so you just spoke my language!! Thank you, I cannot wait to try these!!!

Do you cook the veggies for a pasta salad, or throw them in raw?

Greek Salad is really good. Whatever noodles you choose, a package of feta cheese, black olives, cherry tomatoes cut in half, cucumber slices, and Greek salad dressing.

  the raw veggies soak up the dressing and get softer each day - my favorite is broccoli after sitting in the fridge in Italian dressing for a couple days.

yum Lexi...that sounds awesome!

we love pesto on our cold pasta salads. I usually throw in carrots/peas and any other veggies we have on hand. We tend to at least blanch our veggies.

My MIL made pasta premadora tonight it was sooo good. It is onions chopped and sauteed, then tomatoes and basil olive marinara sauce. This doesnt have meat at all in the marinara type sauce. Anyway then you use wheat pasta or whatever pasta you have and there ya go. It is basically spaghetti without the meat.

We make a lot of pasta dishes. I use this killer recipe for homemade bread sticks (you can easily whole-wheatify it, lol), and it makes for a great meal! I melt some Earth Balance and garlic (or even garlic salt, lol) and brush it on the bread sticks. Its perfect.

Some of our favorite pastas:
  • Basic red sauce (I use the keep-it-simple-stupid recipe from Veganomicon)
    Quote:
    2 tsp olive oil
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    1 28-oz can of crushed tomatoes
    1/4 tsp dried thyme
    1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
    1/2 tsp salt
    several pinches of freshly ground black pepper

    Preheat a pan over medium-low heat. Saute the oil and garlic for about a minute, add everything else, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes.
  • Pesto! If you have basil, then its a great way to use it up. If not, the Frontier packet makes some good stuff.
  • Roasted Butternut Squash with Penne (from the Whole Foods Market Cookbook)
    Quote:
    1 medium butternut squash
    1 1/2 c. diced onion
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    1/2 tsp. crushed red chili flakes
    3 Tbsp olive oil
    1 Tbsp lemon juice
    2 tsp salt

    1 pound penne pasta

    1/2 c. minced parsley
    1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
    Salt and pepper to tast.

    Preheat the oven to 375.
    Peel the butternut squash (a y-peeler works best). Cut the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and discard them. Dice the squash into 1-inch cubes. Place the squash in a bowl with onion, garlic, red chili flakes, olive oil, lemon juice, and the 2 tsp salt. Toss to mix well.

    Place this in a large roasting pan and roast for 45 minutes or until golden brown. Stir occasionally. The squash should be firm-tender, but not mushy.

    Cook the pasta, drain, then mix in the cooked squash mixture, parsley, cheese, salt and pepper.
  • Fettuccine with Garlic Parsley and Parmesan (from the Whole Foods Market Cookbook)
    Quote:
    1 pound fettucine
    1/4 c. olive oil
    12 cloves garlic
    3/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
    1 c. minced fresh parsley
    1 tsp lemon pepper

    Cook pasta. In a separate pan heat olive oil, add garlic and saute about 4 minutes - until light golden brown. Remove the garlic cloves and reserve. Add the drained pasta to the pan, and saute over medium heat for 2 minutes, until warmed through. Add the browned garlic, Parmesan, parsley, and lemon pepper. Toss well to combine.
  • Peanut butter noodles (you can use any kind of noodles - not just soba) - http://www.veggiemealplans.com/archi...range-dressing or http://www.veggiemealplans.com/index...bles&Itemid=67

Baby needs me. I'll come back later

Mushroom stroganoff is good and easy, too. Just saute the mushrooms, onion, and some garlic. Add a bit of flour or arrowroot. Then whisk in something milky and unsweetened like coconut milk, soymilk, almond milk or creamer. Add some parsley or spinach for a little color and pour on pasta.

Default Re: I need some vegetarian PASTA DISH recipes, please~

a couple of these have meat in them, but you can omit the meat for a still very yummy pasta dish. Sorry if the text is a little weird. These are taken out of my cookbook program on my computer :

RECIPE: artichoke pasta

CATEGORIES: Breads/Grains/Pastas

INGREDIENTS:

1 jar artichoke hearts, undrained
pasta
2 pnt heavy cream
3/4 cup white wine
1 handful sundried tomatoes , chopped


METHOD:

combine one undrained can of artichoke hearts, wine, garlic if you like it, cream and tomatoes into saucepan (I use a skillet b/c more surface area gets covered and it cooks faster) and cook down until nice and creamy. Add salt to taste.

serve over pasta of choice - we like tortellini

==================== ====================

RECIPE: lemon pesto shrimp pasta

CATEGORIES: Breads/Grains/Pastas

INGREDIENTS:

1 pkg knorr creamy pesto sauce
1 1/2 cups milk
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 lb frozen shrimp
pasta of choice


METHOD:

heat olive oil and cook shrimp until pink. Add milk, packet of pesto sauce and lemon juice and simmer until thickened (3-5 minutes). Serve over pasta of choice.

========================================

RECIPE: Lemon Pepper Chicken Pasta

SOURCE: Liz
CATEGORIES: Poultry, Breads/Grains/Pastas

INGREDIENTS:

2 chicken breasts
1 cup white wine, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 stick butter
1 lrg lemon
mushrooms, optional
2 pnt heavy whipping cream
parmesan cheese

METHOD:

Take your chicken and put in a skillet with a little olive oil or butter, add enough white wine to have the chicken simmer in. Add a little garlic and lemon juice too. In a separate saucepan, melt butter - about a 1/2 stick should do. Add a couple teaspoons garlic and sliced mushrooms (optional). Saute until the excess water from the mushrooms cooks off and the mushrooms get a nice brown color. Squeeze a lot of lemon juice and add a 1/2 cup of white wine. Cook down until most of the liquid is gone. Add 2 small containers or 1 medium container heavy whipping cream. Cook on high. Ad salt and pepper. Boil until more than half of the liquid has cooked off. Add strained chicken. Turn heat of and let set and thicken. About 5-7 minutes. Add parmesan cheese after sauce has cooled some. Add pasta to sauce.
