I have been on a kick lately to try and eat healthier. My house hold is a meat and potatoes kind of place. I have found a two recipes that I am going to try and I will up date this blog as I post pictures of them .
Eating dishes with no meat can be just as filling as dishes with meat in them . This recipe is a spin from one of our favorite dips. Spinach Artichoke dip. It makes it a lot simpler and just as tasty.
Spinach Artichoke Rigatoni
3 cups large tube noodles or Rigatoni
1 pkg (10oz) frozen spinach
1 can (14oz) artichoke hearts, rinse, drain and quartered
2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. Pepper
Cook the noodles as package directs. Warm up spinach and set aside.
Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Return pasta to pan. Stir in artichokes, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, spinach, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
Transfer to a greased 2 qt baking dish that is broiler safe. Top with remaining cheese and broil 4-6 away from heat source for 2 minutes until cheese is melted.
The other is fairly simple its a Portobello mushroom on a burger bun with grilled tomato, a little olive oil, mozzarella cheese and Italian seasoning. Making it a Pizza burger with out the meat.
I love Portobello mushrooms they have a nice meaty flavor and are earthy. They make a great substitute for meat.
Enjoy and happy eating
