Italian Noodle Bake For An Easy Vegetarian Meal


To accommodate my son’s veggie diet I had to entertain the idea of using meatless recipes in my meal planning.

I found that cooking noodle vegetable casseroles was the easiest way to fix one main meal for the whole family.

I could then satisfy his love for vegetables and include a side dish with meat for everyone else.

Finding the perfect blend of ingredients in most meatless recipes was a challenge. 

When I tried out new meatless recipes I found some were to bland, the flavor just wasn’t there.

Another problem was the amount of veggies the ingredients required.

Having to many vegetables in one dish was ideal for my son but undesirable to the rest of the family.

But to my delight this Meatless Recipe For An Italian Noodle Bake was perfect.

My son loves the meatless factor and my family gets to eat a traditional pasta dish with meat on the side.

This is another great vegetable casserole that can please the vegetarian eater when the rest of the family eats meat.

      Thank you for these recipes. No one in my family is vegetarian but meat is expensive, plain and simple. This will definitely help us lower our food bill, without suffering nutritionally!

    • Hi Amber, your right meat is expensive right now. I love veggie casseroles because you can create a main dish without the meat. Thanks for visiting the site!

      I made this last night and it was really good! We’re not vegetarians, because my husband is pretty sure he would die, but I don’t think he even realized this was meatless!! Very good, and I used all low fat ingredients and it tasted super! Thanks!!

    • That is so funny, my family has thought the same many times. When I prepare a new meatless dish you can see the fear in their faces. Sometimes its a success, like this one and sometimes it doesn’t get touched. I’m glad you liked it and thumbs up for going low fat!!
