Baked Rigatoni with Broccoli and Gorgonzola
Source: Didi Emmons, Vegetarian Planet
(4 Servings)
8 ounces dried rigatoni
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 bunch broccoli, cut into florets (about 4 cups)
1 1/3 cups ricotta cheese, whole-milk or part-skim
3 ounces gorgonzola, crumbled (about 1/2 cup)
salt and pepper to taste
2 tomatoes, cut into 8 wedges each
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or Asiago cheese
Bring a large pot of boiling salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and boil
it, stirring occasionally, until it is just tender. Drain the pasta and rinse
it well with cold water.
In a large skillet, combine the olive oil and garlic over low heat. Sauté the
garlic for 2 minutes or until the garlic releases its aroma (do not let it
brown). Turn up the heat and add the broccoli and 1 cup water. Cook the
broccoli, uncovered, for 3 minutes or until most of the water is evaporated.
Add the ricotta cheese and the Gorgonzola. Stir the sauce until it is nearly
smooth, and season it with salt and pepper.
In a bowl, combine the pasta, the cheese-broccoli sauce, the tomatoes, and 2/3
cup of the Parmesan or Asiago cheese. Add more salt and pepper to taste, if
necessary. (At this point you can refrigerate the mixture for baking later.)
Preheat the oven to 400F. Spoon the mixture into a 9-x-13-inch casserole dish.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the casserole. Bake the
casserole, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes (or a little longer if the mixture
has been refrigerated). Spoon the contents onto plates and serve.

Here's another one that's really good:
Spaghetti Squash Casserole
Source: Mollie Katzen, Moosewood Cookbook
(4-6 servings)
1 8-inch spaghetti squash
1 cup chopped onion
2 medium cloves crushed garlic
2 fresh tomatoes, medium-sized
1/2 pound, fresh, sliced mushrooms
1/2 teaspoon oregano
salt and pepper
1 cup cottage or ricotta cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella
1/4 cup freshly-chopped parsley
1 teaspoon basil
dash of thyme
1 cup fine bread crumbs
butter for sauteeing
Parmesan for the top
Preheat oven to 375F.
Slice the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Bake it,
face-down, on a buttered tray at 375F for about 30 minutes, or until easily
pierced by a fork. Cool until handleable. Scoop out insides.
While the squash bakes, saute the onions and garlic with salt, pepper,
mushrooms and herbs. When onions are soft, add freshly-chopped tomatoes. Cook
until most of the liquid evaporates.
Combine all ingredients. Pour into buttered 2-quart casserole. Top with lots
of grated Parmesan. Bake at 375F, uncovered, about 40 minutes.

Along with the other suggestions, I'd suggest looking out for dishes
with lots of at least one of: potato, pasta or cheese.
One of the problems with vegetarian food that meat eaters find is that the
meal doesn't leave the accustomed heaviness of the stomach. As a result,
it can leave a lot of non-vegetarians feeling a bit unsatisfied afterwards.
Potato, pasta and cheese are ingredients that make good stomach fillers.

You guys really need to experiment with different varieties of fish. There are
so many flavors, textures and ways of preparing it. I bet there are a couple
you would really like. ;)
That aside - here are my fave vegie meals and I eat meat/fish and chicken.
"Make your own burritoes" - tortillias filled with lots of yummy fillings
including beans, rice, fajita style peppers/onions, guacamole, cheese, salsa,
lettuce, sour cream, etc.
Spaghetti Marinara (lots of garlic, fresh basil and red pepper flakes) with
Garlic Bread and Salad.
Vegie Fried Rice (stir-fry day old brown basmati rice with finely cut vegies
including carrots, zuchinni, broccoli, plus peas, bean sprouts, mushrooms, egg,
lots of garlic, fresh ginger, some sesame oil, vegie broth, soy sauce) - vegie

This sounds like a lot of work, but note that most of the
ingredient list is herbs. It makes a delicious casserole
to serve when you know vegetarians are coming. The rest of
us treat it as a side dish with roast chicken or grilled
salmon, or...your choice! It's very tasty. I suppose
you could vary it with chopped fresh spinach instead of
the broccoli.
Broccoli-Rice Dinner Casserole serves ~10
1 1/2 c. brown rice (or white) 1/2 bunch parsley, chopped
salt 1/2 lb. sliced mushrooms
2 Tbsp olive oil 1 green pepper, sliced thin
1 large onion, chopped 2 lb. broccoli, sliced thinly
2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 lb. fresh grated gruyere
1/2 tsp. dill weed 1/2 lb. fresh grated parmesan
1 tsp. thyme 1/2 pint sour cream
1 tsp. oregano 1/2 c. dry roasted cashews
Cook rice as directed until tender and dry. Set aside.
Heat oil in your largest skillet; saute onion, garlic, dill,
thyme and oregano until onion starts to soften. Add parsley,
mushrooms, green pepper. Stir fry a few minutes, then add
broccoli. Stir until broccoli turns brighter green and becomes
crisp-tender. Add cashews and remove from heat.
Spread cooked rice in a 9x13 inch glass pan or similar sized
casserole. Cover with vegetable mixture, then cheeses.
Spread with sour cream. Bake 30 minutes at 350 deg. or until
mixture bubbles and cheese is melted.

I make something very similar to this, only I add a little crumbled, cooked
Italian sausage. I know it doesn't fit the topic, but it's really terrific.
I splash in a little hot sauce, too.

The following is a recipe that I think is part of the rfc cookbook. I've
made it a bunch of times and just love it. My husband likes it, too. We've
had it as a side dish (with steak and crusty French bread), but I prefer it
as a main course over angel hair pasta (with just a tiny tad of grated
parmesan). Our dinner guest (on the angel hair night) liked it a lot, as
well.
At first, I thought the recipe looked too simple, and tried jazzing it up a
bit with garlic, herbs, onions, etc. But I've found that it's really best
exactly as written.
Best of all: if you cut up the veggies ahead of time, you can cook it in a
snap and have more time to enjoy your son's visit. Better yet...you can
work on the chopping together!

You already have lots of possibilities. I would add pasta putanesca.
It includes tomatoes, olives, capers, garlic, and anchovies in the
sauce.
You can vary it to suit yourself and what you have on hand. Some
people use both green and ripe olives. Anchovies may be the salty ones
in can or jar, or they could be th eoil cured sort, much gentler
I like the bitter accents I get by pitting Morroccan oil-cured olives,
cut in two.
If you have local ripened plum tomatoes, you can blanch, peel and seed
them. You can use some local and some canned Italian San Marzano
tomatoes.
When you have gone through a dozen or so variants, you can add a new
ingredient if you feel like it. You can also leave one of th ebasics
out if you don't have it around.
Pasta with pesto genovese is a very easy main course. For the pesto
you need nuts (pignoli are traditional, but walnuts can be very nice(,
garlic, basil, and olive oil. Recipes are everywhere.
You can take off from that and use something else instead of basil,
spinache, for example. Or if you want a bitter effect, rape (broccoli
rabe).
Casseroles based on beans ofer endless possibilities.
Corn
In summertime, get freshly picked sweet corn. Scrape the corn from the
cob right away and zap it in the microwave to stop it from converting
its sugar, and chill until you want to use it.
To finish, saute some garlic with a hot pepper (geared to your
audience) and whatever else it suits your fancy to throw in. Add the
corn and finish cooking.
Risottos and farottos--endless possibilities.
A farotto with wild porcini (cepes) when you can find them, or
Slippery-jacks.
Cultivated shiitake mushrooms are quite flavorful when the wild ones
are not around. Dried porcini from Italy is a bargain at $50/lb. A bag
of them goes a long way.
I am not vegetarian, but I have no trouble finding things to feed
young relatives who are. And, I woudn't give them anything I don't
enjoy myself.

How about steak ( my fravorite veggie) for the meat eaters with a side
of pasta primavera, and the pasta for the main dish for the
vegeterian.
It would not be right to limit the meal of the rest of the family
because one of the members have changed from the norm of the family.

Well, that really would depend on what "level" of commitment you have
with being a vegetarian. For many fish is considered OK. Maybe that is
why I find little understanding of someone who claims to be a
vegetarian. Someone who says they are vegan is more understandable, if
not palatable.

I have omitted the tofu and replaced it with shrimp and also chicken.
Also....non-tofu eaters can't tell it is tofu, just seems like one more

When I make lasagna, I layer sausage in one end only. That way, those of
use who don't care for sausage have vegetarian lasagna. I suppose if your
son objects to meat for moral or ethical reasons, you could just make a
small pan without meat, or everyone could have vegetarian lasagna.
Vegetarian entrees really aren't that hard:
bean and cheese burritos
cheese and onion enchiladas
hearty vegetable soup
spaghetti with sauce (have meatballs if some family members must have meat)
au gratin potatoes
macaroni with cheese (interesting cheese, not imitation cheese stuff)
spanakopita
peppers stuffed with potatoes and cheeses
peppers sutfed with rice and tomatoes
cheese fondue (use bread and veggies for dunking)
vegetarian chili (use several kinds of beans - not authentic, I know!)

Doesn't surprise me much, but that's something of a description of
why people worry about feeding people with special diet restrictions.
You have to scour your food offerings for something you're not
aware of. Personally, if I was a vegetarian, I'd bring my own cake
rather than run around asking people to change their cake mix.
Maybe everyone else liked the other cake more. Kinda rude.

Doesn't surprise me either, but here are a couple of reasons:
1. Some people have a different hierarchy of what they eat. Lard comes
from a mammal, and some "vegetarians" will eat fish and fowl, but not
other meat.
2. Doctors will often ignore the potential health problems of certain
types of vegetarians (B12 shortage), expecially young ones. No sense
worrying about it right away, since chances are they will have dropped
this latest fad before it could possibly do any harm. My youngest has
been a vegetarian quite some time. Her oldest brother used to poke fun at
her all the time. Then he became a vegetarian. No more pokes. Then he
dropped it. Now he's a vegetarian again, and they cook together
sometimes.
I don't poke fun at vegetarians, and I know they take their decision very
seriously. Some of them have made a permanent change. Others may keep it
for years. My sister has been a vegetarian for ten years now. Still, if
I was organizing an office potluck, and knew that there was one person who
was a vegetarian six months ago, I would certainly confirm before I made
any special arrangements. If phrased politely, no one could possibly be
offended. Most vegetarians are pleased that people remember their
preference, and if their preference has changed, potential embarassment is
avoided.

again the other night) ... here's the approximate recipe (I never measure, just
go on feel) .. You will probably want to double it for 4 people, if you want
leftovers or have big eaters. I usually serve it with some kind of salad, like
cucumbers with lemon and salt. And some garlic bread (or just saltines with
butter - mom's old standby).
(I'm also new to this ng, so I hope I'm not breaking a taboo here)
Carrot/Tomato Soup
butter and olive oil (to taste)
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 chunk of ginger (to taste -- I like a lot), minced
1-2 jalapenos, depending on spicy level, minced
Garlic to taste, chopped the way you like!
7-8 Carrots, chopped
1 can crushed tomatoes (I recommend the fire-roasted, really really good)
Pinches of: thyme, marjoram and small pinches of oregano and toasted cumin
seeds
I sautee the onion/ginger/jalapeno in some butter and olive oil until soft and
add the thyme, marjoram, oregano and cumin seeds and some fresh ground black
pepper.
Then add the carrots and sautee for a few minutes.
Add the can of tomatoes and another can of water. Salt to taste.
Cook until the carrots are soft and then blend with the hand blender until the
desired consistency. Taste for flavor and add salt/pepper if desired. I like
some chunks in it still, so it's not too smooth. I like to bite into some
carrot and bits of ginger.
To garnish, add a dollop of creme fraiche (or sour cream) and some flat leaf
parsley.

My son has begun coming home for dinner once a month.
This is a good thing. But he has become a
vegetarian. He eats fish, but other's in the family don't enjoy
fish. Already made eggplant parmesan, which was a
success. So, I'd appreciate any other suggestions for a tried
and true veggie entree that the family of 4 will enjoy.
Thanks!

fish is NOT
part of the vegetarian diet And I would also tell him it's NOT going to
kill him to eat meat once a month coming to YOUR home for dinner while
others in family don't enjoy fish

maybe that's part of what astounded him, because she was a very sweet
person with a fine singing voice. i once asked her to pray for my
dad, even though i'm an atheist.
