Vegeterian Tips: Most restaurants nowadays have vegetarian options available right on the menu. If not, ask your server if there is something that can be made for you. If you are at a more upscale restaurant, the chef will most likely be willing to whip up something for you, as it shows their talents and feeds their ego.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 package barilla penne
- 1 package vegan Sloppy Joe mix, prepared as directed with veggie burge
- 1 medium/large jar of your favorite pasta sauce
- 1 red onion, sliced into very thin slices
- 4 cups fresh leaf spinach
Directions:
Mix the prepared sloppy joe mix with the veggie burger and Prego sauce, and set to simmer, while you boil
the pasta according to the box directions.
Spread a thin layer of sauce in the bottom of
two 7×11 casserole dishes. Layer red onions on top of sauce, and spinach leaves on top of
that, splitting evenly between the two dishes. Using a slotted spoon, spoon the pasta out
of the boiling water (so a bit of the water comes with it), in a layer on top of the
spinach layers, and top off with the rest of the sauce, spooning it on and spreading it
out evenly.
Place in a 400ยบ oven for 20 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
Take out of oven, and let sit for 10 minutes before serving. perfect for potlucks, or if
you like to bake ahead for emergency meals, it freezes well.
