Dinner ideas needed -no meat
I am hosting dinner for my inlaws next week and they very rarely eat meat of any kind. Do you have any ideas for a great meal? I was thinking some sort of pasta- stuffed shells or something but MIL also eats very healthy, so I'm not sure. This is hard! Help

What about a veggie lasagna or baked ziti.
Do they eat fish?

Baked Ziti is always good. Add some veggies and fresh Italian bread or garlic bread and you got a whole meal.

Re: Dinner ideas needed -no meat
I make pasta with fresh veggies all the time. It's pretty healthy.
1 lb fresh string beans, 2 broccoli crowns. Cover them in EVOO, lots of minced fresh garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Serve over 1lb of pasta with a little more EVOO, and some reg. parm. It's really easy too.

How about something like this - Pasta Primavera
My mom makes something similar but she serves it with spaghetti or angel hair and she adds sun dried tomatoes. Sometimes for a really full meal she will add strips of grilled chicken. Yum - my favorite dish in the world.

Re: Dinner ideas needed -no meat
I hate to say it, but if they eat healthy meals, they definitely wouldn't want Italian-america food.... way too carby and fatty....
I second the stir-fry idea.... or else, you could make veggie patties with side dishes
Here's my veggie patty recipe:
1/2 bell pepper
2 packs mushrooms
2 eggs
seasoned breadcrumbs (about 1.5 cups)
Puree pepper and mushrooms (it will make an ugly brown sauce). Transfer to a bowl. Add 2 eggs and bread crumbs. Add salt. Mix. (It should be a similar consistency to oatmeal... if not, add more crumbs)
Heat up peanut oil (unfiltered is more flavorful), and fry patties.
