i've been trying cook vegetarian.

[vash]

i try to eat meat once a week. i'm finding i feel better, and all my system simply function better..(i'll spare you the details) pretty FUN and challenging trying to cook veggie dishes well enough not to miss meat.

i've also been trying to learn how to dress pasta lightly (i found italians lightly dress, so the pasta shines)..so i been blending the two.

tonight, i hit the farmers market. asparagus, peas, some onion..and whole wheat pasta..viola!!

it was awesome!! i broke my stick blender on this dish.

I've never tried cooking a vegetarian. How do they taste?

I'd suspect they're pretty lean and gamey.

Vash,

Pretty easy to make a stuffed shell dish without meat, cook the pasta shells and stuff with ricotta, mozzerala, red sauce and broccoli, then bake the whole thing, I had a recipe somewhere, but I bet the internet has a few. Real good tasting and plenty of leftovers to get you a couple meals.

Eating healthy really does do wonders for your body, I gave up pop and started eating a lot of vegetables last year after my broken leg and I felt better, lost weight, my 6 Tums a day heartburn went to a couple Tums a month.

It's not pasta, but spaghetti squash is actually pretty yummy.

Also, Acorn squash baked. Lots of folks fill them with butter and sugar and then bake them. I find that they are plenty sweet without. I usually put a little butter in after baking.

Also, you may want to check these out. I haven't had these recipes, but I have had a dish with cauliflower "rice" and was surprised by the results. We're trying to cut down on the refined sugars and flours and lots of heavy carbs like potatoes and rice.

Cauliflower Rice - Primal Palate <- for this one we use the grating blade of the food processor. I would assume that with the processing blade, it would be harder to get the stuff rice sized, but I don't know.
