Veggie Pasta Bake

Pour 1lb of pasta in a 9x13 baking pan. Any kind of pasta shape and type will work. Add 1 bag of frozen veggies. I like that mix of brocolli, cauliflower and carrots. Add one chopped onion. Stir in 1 can of spaghetti sauce (or your own if you make it) and one can of water. Sprinkle some cheese on top if you want it. Cover and bake at 350 for 60-70 minutes.

I like to add Italian herbs and garlic. Just throw some in.

For a meal, I serve cut up fresh fruit (whatever is on sale) and the kids have milk. Often, I serve a green veggie on the side.

a good place to start is www.allrecipes.com Dh found an AWESOME veggie chili recipe- so good!

I found this article which might be of interest to you:

(at the bottom it has a few recipes)



The Diabetic Gourmet- Vegetarian (http://diabeticgourmet.com/recipes/Vegetarian/)

Diabetic Recipes- Vegetarian (http://www.diabetic-recipes.com/cat_vegetarian.htm)

Some of the above ones do have some strange ingredients probably not local, but others seem good. We also need to find recipes that include locally grown foods, sincec we do not have a health food or whole foods store nearby.

Good luck and happy eating!
