13 Vegetarian Meals That Embrace Our Love for Italian Food

This lasagna is entirely with vegetables — a mix of late-summer vegetables along with some mushrooms for their texture and earthy flavors — but you could certainly add some cooked sausage or other meat for an even heartier dish.

It’s a dish that’s right for just about any moment, whether you have an almost-empty pantry and it’s late and you’re hungry on a Wednesday, or you’re cooking for a few friends over the weekend.

This gnocchi, tossed in a buttery white wine sauce with mushrooms and basil, takes only a little more work and really delivers in the flavor department.

This flatbread recipe is a twist on my perfected pizza dough, however I reduced the amount of yeast and added a splash of garlic-infused olive oil.

This pizza is quite simple and will go well with any white sauce you choose to use.

This recipe makes enough pizza dough for two sheet pan pizzas – one ball of dough for now, and one to freeze for later.

The Parmesan-garlic broth that’s the base of this wholesome stew is going to be your new BFF when you need deep flavor without meat.

Panzanella is more than just another tomato salad with some croutons give everything about a half hour to mingle and mix, and this bread salad goes from “pretty good” to a bona fide can’t-stop-eating-it dinner win.

Perfect dish for spring season.
