Spinach Soufflé

We all live hectic lives today. Few of us have time to spend hours preparing from-scratch meals seven days a week. Even if we did have the time, there are thousands of other things competing for each extra minute. So in this chapter, we’ve put together a collection of scrumptious meatless recipes that require the bare minimum of muss, fuss, labor—perfect for busy households.

What’s the secret? Making smart use of convenience foods and staples from the pantry and refrigerator, then adding your own vegetables, herbs, and spices. In no more than forty minutes you can have any of the dishes in this chapter on the table and ready to eat. These are not mere thrown-together, ho-hum meals either. They are wholesome, satisfying vegetarian dishes that everyone will find delicious.

Ample use is made of canned beans and tomato products, quick-cooking grains and pasta, jars of olives and salsa, packaged shredded cheeses, and bags of precut vegetables. Eggs are the basis of an airy spinach soufflé and several savory frittatas; black beans take center stage in burgers, burritos, and chili; vegetables abound in Barley-Vegetable Stew, Tofu Stir-fry, and Vegetarian Tortilla Pie. Pasta recipes show off myriad shapes and sizes: Pasta Ribbons with Chunky Vegetables; Fusilli with Garbanzo Beans and Spinach; Bow Ties with Tomatoes, Herbs, and Lemon; Cavatelli with Ricotta and Fresh Tomato Sauce are but a few.

Cuisines from around the world offer many palate-pleasing vegetarian recipes. Most supermarkets, specialty food shops, and markets stock a wide array of ethnic products that can easily be stored in your pantry for quick and hassle-free dinners. From the recipes in this chapter, you can sample the flavors of the Middle East with our zesty Falafel Cones, a traditional snack. Try spicy cheese-and-vegetable-filled Queso-Blanco Soft Tacos for a taste of Mexico. Skillet Vegetable Curry is infused with the exotic spices of India. And, we’ve streamlined the Polish specialty, Pierogi and Sauerkraut-Slaw Casserole, with frozen pierogies and pre-cut cabbage.

Another great feature of the time-saving nature of these dishes is that few pots and pans are used in preparation. That means cleanup is a breeze, allowing you to spend more time with your family, which is, after all, the most valuable use of your time.
