Help on a vegetarian meal?!
I'm a teenage girl and i'm making dinner tomorrow for the fam!.
i don't live in a place where the best ingredients are found, as in super fresh ahi tuna!.
the meal has to be healthy and meat-free!.
here's my ideas so far (all taken from jamie oliver cookbooks)
Appetizer: fresh tomato/basil soup
Drink: mango lassi (i know it doesn't exactly fit, but we love them and i found a good recipe and the mangos are finally tasting good here)
Main dish: some sort of pasta, i've narrowed it down to 3: pasta carbonara, a pasta with mussels, or a pasta w/ artichoke
Side dish: NEED HELP HERE, what goes with pasta!?
Dessert: NEED HELP HERE, something healthy! not necessarily fruit
thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
Pasta with artichokes sounds great! I think something with sundried tomatoes would be outstanding! Maybe this bruschetta!? https://www!.recipezaar!.com/281862
And for dessert maybe a homemade frozen yogurt!? I haven't made this yet, but all the reviewers seem to love it and it seems quick, easy, and delicious! http://www!.recipezaar!.com/35079Www@FoodAQ@Com

Dessert: Fruit salad is really delicious!. With plain unsweetened yoghurt and a really wide variety of fruit!.
And I think pasta carbonara is the best!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Asparagus is in season and a great (and easy!) recipe you could use as your side dish is Parboiled Asparagus!. It's healthy and is a nice compliment to a pasta dish!. http://www!.elise!.com/recipes/archives/00!.!.!.
