Season 4, Episode 20: Hybrid Spinach and 3 Cheese Vegetarian and Meat Big Pasta Bake Dinner.

Cooking for a larger group where some people are vegetarians and others are meat eaters? This is your solution! This is a super easy and yummy baked pasta dish. This recipe uses two pans and will feed 8-10 people. It's similar to a spinach lasagna, but easier to make because you stir the ingredients together rather than need to build layers.

Ingredients: 2 pan version

• 16 oz penne or rigatoni pasta
• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 ½ Tbsp minced garlic from a jar
• 5 cups fresh baby spinach, packed
• 15 oz ricotta cheese
• ¾ c. grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 Tbsp dried basil leaves
• 2 eggs, scrambled
• 1 ½ tsp salt
• ¾ tsp black pepper
• 49 oz marinara sauce
• 36 oz frozen Italian meatballs

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Cook pasta according to the instructions on the package to al dente.
3. Cook frozen meatballs according to the package instructions.
4. Spread marinara sauce on the bottom of each pan, one 9x13 inch glass baking dish, and a smaller baking dish 8x11.5 inch/2 QT.
5. Combine ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, half the mozzarella cheese, egg, dried basil leaves, and salt and black pepper together and stir well.
6. Cook garlic in olive oil for about a minute, stirring.
7. Add spinach to the hot pan, stirring to wilt. Remove from heat.
8. Combine spinach and garlic mixture with cheese mixture. Stir well.
9. Add cooked, drained pasta, and stir well.
10. Add pasta mixture to both pans, making the vegetarian portion a little higher than the meat portions.
11. Add the cooked meatballs to meat pan, or distribute them to both pans as desired, leaving a portion without meatballs for a meatless portion(s). I generally do the larger pan with meatballs and the smaller pan meatless, but you may divide this up as desired based on needs.
12. Cover both dishes with remaining marinara sauce (this should be about half the sauce or more).
13. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese across both pans, evenly.
14. Spray tin foil with cooking spray and cover both pans.
15. Cook for a half hour, uncover and cook for about 20 minutes more until hot and bubbling and cheeses are all melted.
16. Cool. Serve, and enjoy!

Ingredients for smaller 1 pan version:

Substitute the following: 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 4 cups fresh spinach (packed), 1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese, 2 c. mozzarella cheese, 1 Tbsp dired basil leaves, 1 egg scrambled, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 36 oz marinara sauce, 24-26 oz frozen Italian meatballs

Season 4, Episode 18: Zesty Veggie Italian Pasta Salad. This salad is simple to make and so tasty! It's a great one for hot summer days and picnics, but also works fabulous as a side dish to any meal. The prep is pretty simple and quick, which I love being a busy mom who runs her own business.

This recipe uses cheese, but it's very good without the cheese as well. So you have options!

Ingredients:

• Italian Dressing and Recipe dry mix packet (0.7 ounces)
• 1/4 c. white vinegar
• 1/2 c. olive oil
• 8 oz. Feta cheese crumbles (also good with 9 or 10 ounces)
• 1 Tbsp freeze drived chives
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
• 1 Tbsp minced onions, dried
• 1 tsp seasoned salt
• 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning
• 4 cups grape tomatoes sliced
• 1 c. baby carrots, sliced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 pound elbow pasta

DIrections:

1. Cook pasta according to directions on the package. Drain.
2. Create the dressing mixture. Combine dry Italian seasoning packet contents with vinegar, oil, freeze dried chives, lemon juice, minced dried onions, seasonded salt, and Italian seasoning in bowl. Whisk aggressively.
3. Combine sliced tomatoes, fresh diced onions, cheeses, carrots, broccoli in a large bowl. Stir.
4. Add in cooled pasta and dressing mixture. Stir to coat.
5. Refrigerate until ready to eat.

And you're done!

The other thing to note is that if you want to eat this warm, it's good that way too. So don't allow pasta to cool too long if eating it warm, otherwise follow the same recipe and directions to enjoy it warm instead of cold.

Enjoy!

Season 4, Episode 17: Monte Cristo Hybrid Vegetarian and Meat Breakfast Casserole. Make one dish work for two diets with this super easy recipe! You will have happy vegetarians and happy meat eaters with this one! And get it all done in just one dish!

This is a simple one to keep the meat separated from the non-meat section, meaning there's very little chance of the dreaded meat drift! The sandiwch meat stays put very nicely and there's very little change of any of the meat moving to the meatless portion. I do this dish as a 2/3 meat and 1/3 meatless plan.

Ingredients:

• 12 slices white bread (cottage bread or brioche)
• 8 oz deli ham slices
• 8 oz deli turkey slice
• 8 oz Swiss cheese, deli cut slices
• 3 slices Provolone deli cut slices
• 3/4 cup shredded cheddar jack cheese (or all cheddar cheese, or Mexican Style blend with Monterery Jack, medium cheddar, Queso Quesadilla cheese, and Asadero cheese)
• 6 eggs
• 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 2 Tbsp melted butter
• 1/2 Tbsp coconut oil
• powdered sugar
• raspberry jam

Instructions: NOTE: Prepare dish and let it sit for 1/2 hour or up to overnight before baking.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease the 9x13 inch glass baking dish with coconut oil.
2. Layer 6 slices of bread, overlapping.
3. Add half of the meats and the Swiss cheese (I do a slice over each bread).
4. Repeat layers.
5. Sprinkle shredded cheese across, sprinkling heavier on the meatless 1/3 of the dish.
6. Lay two slices Provolone cheese on the two slices of bread in the meatless section, and break up the last piece in fourths and place on each of the four slices of bread in the meat section.
7. Drizzle melted butter all across.
8. Wisk together the eggs, milk, mustardd, and seasonings. Wish well.
9. Pour over the dish, attempting to get all the crusts wet.
10. Spray tin foil with cooking spray and press it down over the dish.
11. Bake covered for 30 minutes.
12. Remove foil.
13. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and starting to brown.
14. Dust with powdered sugar and spread raspberry jam across.
15. Cut into six portions and serve! And enjoy!

We like to have potatoes on the side, such as frozen seasoned Potatoes O'brien or hashbrowns.
