What's for dinner? Pasta with greens and mushrooms

Pasta is a quick and easy stand-by meal, whether you're vegetarian, vegan or not. Visiting family last week, I whopped up this pasta dish with collard greens and mushrooms just because I happened to have everything on hand, and because we were all quite hungry! I happened to have a decent white wine on hand, so I added a spash of that to the simmering mushrooms and greens just for an added depth of flavor. The verdict? We all went back for seconds, and would have had thirds if I had made a double-batch!

Need more dinner ideas? When it comes to pasta, the vegetarian options are endless, and just about everyone loves pasta. Some familiar favorites are vegetable marinara, spaghetti with veggie meatballs, macaroni and cheese, and pesto pasta. Load up the veggies or use whole wheat noodles to get the most nutrition out a pasta dish for your vegetarian dinner.

Easy dinner idea: Quick curried chickpeas

I love chickpeas for a simple meal. They're nutritious and cheap, and if you cook them up as in this recipe, for example, they cook quickly and take on lots of juicy flavor. This quick and easy curried chickpea recipe uses canned ingredients, but has lots of spices to give it a real Indian flavor. Pair it with rice or another healthy whole grain for a simple yet complete entree.
