Re: Easy and healthy vegetarian recipes?

Well, cooking for one is easier if you've got freezer space to spare, that way, you can make a full recipe of 6 or 8 servings and freeze most of it for later, and making stuff with long ingredient lists or that takes awhile doesn't seem like a waste of time and effort. (Especially if you do what I do and do cooking prep with a movie on in the background.) Stuff like cooked beans and soups freeze well, so do lasagna and enchiladas.

For enchilada or lasagna filling, crumble a block of tofu and add some minced garlic, chopped onion, carrots, bell pepper, zucchini, sweet potato, tomatoes (sun dried or roasted are good) and spinach. For lasagna add broccoli, mushrooms, basil, and artichoke hearts; for enchiladas, frozen or drained canned corn, chopped cilantro, diced hot pepper or chiles in adobo and maybe a drained can of black beans. I'm lazy and don't pre-cook any of the veggies, I just make sure they're chopped small enough to cook through in 40 minutes to an hour. You can sub out ricotta for some or all of the tofu, and if there's any veggies you love or really hate or can't get ahold of, add them in or ditch them.

For lasagna, get a jar of marinara sauce and some lasagna noodles (I use the no-boil kind) put some sauce in the bottom of a baking dish, top with noodles, more sauce, and a layer of filling goop. Then repeat until the pan's almost full, ending with noodles and sauce. Put tons of grated cheese (Mozzarella and Parmesan, if you've got them) over the top and bake at 350 F (no idea what that is in Celsius, sorry) until the sauce bubbles and the cheese starts to brown.

Enchiladas are slightly more work, but only slightly. I use a mix of half salsa and half marinara sauce. Put some in the bottom of a baking dish, put a heaping tablespoon of filling goop in a corn tortilla and roll it up to make a little burrito/rolled taco. Put it in the sauce seam side down and repeat until you've covered the bottom of the baking dish. Cover with more sauce, and repeat until the baking dish is almost full, cover with a final layer of sauce and a bunch of grated cheese-- I use pepper Jack, but whatever you like is fine-- and bake at 350 until the sauce bubbles and the cheese melts. To soften corn tortillas, either nuke them in the microwave, wrapped in a damp towel, for ~30 seconds or so, or heat up a skillet and put in a tiny bit of oil, then put the tortillas in one at a time until they're pliable, which takes less than a minute, and fill them as you go.

If you want to cheat and presentation isn't a big deal, you can just use tortillas the same way you'd use lasagna noodles, laying them flat instead of rolling them up.

Using so many different veggies increases the prep time, but it's not complicated, since the whole thing is just chop, mix, layer, and bake. Good luck!
