Baked ziti- I didn't use a recipe, I just dove into the veggie crisper and pulled out what ever I had leftover from other dinners. Here's what I put in mine:
- onion
- zucchini
- orange and yellow bell peppers (they were a gift from my mom)
- asparagus
- frozen peas
- chopped up chorizo my husband made
- left over batch of ricotta cheese I made
- box of pene pasta (cooked)
- jar of spaghetti sauce
Calzone- One of our favorite recipes we bust out in order to get rid of left overs is the calzone. You have to make the dough from scratch, but you can fill it with just about anything, we've done:
- Breakfast calzones -left over tofu scramble, bac'n bits (most are vegan), cheese, homemade sausage, and maybe some vegenaise if it seems too dry
- Pizza calzones -pepperoni or homemade sausage, pizza or pasta sauce, cheese, pineapple, onions, olives, or what ever you typically like on a pizza
- Left over calzones - this one's self explanatory. I am a firm believer that if you wrap anything in bread, it's gonna be good. Cook up veggies, use left over seitan, or even last night's casserole
- Buffalo wing calzones - this is one of my Husband's favorite. Mix one part butter, melted, with one part hot sauce then toss it with seitan chopped into very small chunks. Throw all that in a calzone and dip in ranch
- Mexican calzones -Maybe I'll deem this Mextalian...maybe not. Anyhow, black beans, salsa, corn, ground seitan mixed with a taco seasoning packet or spices you already have, cheese, tomatoes, onions, and dip the cooked product in sour cream
Lasagna- This is probably the easiest dish to throw together, everything I have mentioned as a calzone can be lasagna, you don't even need noodles if you don't want, I've used:
- sliced eggplant
- sliced zucchini
- tortillas (for a Mexican lasagna)
