VEGGIE MANICOTTI
1 pound fresh spinach, stems trimmed and well washed or a 10-ounce package frozen spinach, thawed
Kosher salt, plus 1/2 teaspoon
12 manicotti shells
3 cups marinara sauce
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese (about 1 pound)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese or a mixture of half Pecorino and Parmesan
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons unsalted butter, dicedBring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat, and season generously with salt. Fill a medium bowl with ice water and season with salt, as well. Boil the spinach, uncovered, until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, (do not drain), and immediately plunge the spinach into the ice water. Drain and squeeze the excess water from the spinach, and finely chop. Alternatively, if using thawed spinach, simply squeeze, and finely chop. In the same large pot of boiling water, cook the pasta shells until al dente, tender but still slightly firm. Drain and pat dry. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cover the bottom of a 9- x 13-inch ovenproof baking dish with 1 cup of the marinara sauce. In a medium mixing bowl, evenly combine the ricotta, mozzarella, and 1/3 cup of the Parmesan, the eggs, and the spinach. Season with the 1/2 teaspoon salt, nutmeg, and pepper to taste. Spoon the cheese mixture into the manicotti shell and line them up in the baking dish. Cover with the remaining sauce. Scatter the remaining cheese on top and dot with the butter. Bake for 30 minutes. Serve immediately.
EGGPLANT & MUSHROOM PASTA
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1/2 pound mushrooms, coarsely chopped
1 eggplant, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1 3/4 cups canned crushed tomatoes in thick puree
1/2 cup canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
3/4 pound linguine
In a large nonstick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to moderately high and add another tablespoon of the oil to the pan. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to moderate. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pan. Stir in the eggplant and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the salt, cayenne, thyme, tomatoes, and broth. Bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the eggplant is very tender, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the linguine until just done, about 12 minutes. Drain; toss with the sauce.

I think a yummy veggie meal would be, hmmm....... salad, vegatble stir fry, and steamed vegatables. Thats all my opinon I've tried theese things they are soooo awsomely good!
you could make scrambled hamburger with peppers, onions, sweetcorn, and mushrooms... but replace the hamburger with veggie crumbles.
you could make vegetarian chili, with kidney beans, garbanzo beans, peppers, onions, canned tomatoes, tomato sauce, chili powder, and cumin.
you could make stuffed peppers with red beans and rice, tomato soup, a hint of mustard, and sweetcorn.
you could make an Asian meal noodle kit (with soy and ginger sauce included) with cucumbers, edamame, scallions, and sesame seeds. I prefer to use Annie Chun's noodles in this instance- she uses soba noodles in her kits.
you could make an omelette with veggies and shredded cheese.
basically lacto-ovo would mean you eat no animals for meat (including fish) but you would eat dairy products and eggs. Essentially, you eat animal products in which the animal does not have to be killed, in order for you to obtain them.
if ur feeling really adventurous u can try some indian recipes, most of them are vegetarian
u can find some at http://food.sify.com/
u can eat eggs and dairy products like cheese, etc, just no meat
Lacto-ovo means you eat milk & eggs and milk & egg products. Here's a nice recipe my mum used to make (she's with the Lord). Boil some egg noodles until tender, but not too tender, you can use wide, medium or thin - whatever is your preference. Drain them well. Melt some Smart Balance or butter in a saucepan, add back the drained noodles and stir in some cottage cheese. It's really good, just as it is. You could add some fresh parsely or other herbs to jazz it up, if you like. Season to taste. Serve with a good mixed green salad with cherry tomatoes, cucs, croutons - whatever you like and the dressing of your choice. You could also serve a brocolli or spinach bread with it, or even garlic bread. Also, you can make different types of frittatas, which are big omelets. If you don't want to use too many yolks you can just use whites or use any brand of carton egg substitute. To make frittata: Beat eggs well, saute chopped onions & peppers (you can sometimes find them in the freezer section, pre-chopped). When the veggies are tender, but before they brown add any other veggies you want and cook thru and then add the beaten eggs or egg substitute product. Let it cook on medium-low and with a wooden utensil, or non-stick, gently push in the sides so that more of the liquid egg mixture pours through to the bottom of the pan to cook. Sprinkle the cheese of your choice on top and pop it under the broiler if you want to brown it. Or just cover the top with foil or a cover which fits tightly. That will hold the heat in and melt the cheese.
