Zucchini, lightly brushed with olive oil, Italian bread crumbs, then parm and baked.
Cheese filled spinach tortellini topped with my own fresh tomato sauce.
A mix of cherry and plum tomatoes, garlic, shallots, red pepper flakes, oregano, white wine and vegetable broth. Fresh basil and parsley.

No meat needed in this meal!! Love #1 -- it really looks appetizing. Very pretty, those pale green tortellini.

Store bought tortellini, but they were still really good.
Thx Zurie ... I really do like NO meat now and then.
I didn't even peel, but the tomatoes are so fresh and being small, I don't mind the skins on.

My only regret, I had pre-shredded parm and it doesn't melt as good, I wish I would of had fresh to grate for the zucchini. OH, well. Tasted the same, just presentation is all.

Hi Sarasota,
Such a wonderful fresh looking meal.

When I hear folks say they could never eat a vegetarian dinner I just laugh knowing they would jump at a dinner as yummy as yours was.

Pleasing combination of colors and textures.

Thx Deb. I really like to eat that way at least 1x per week. It is healthy, but always just lighter. I guess I justify making a cream sauce or pasta dish, if I can offset it by having a bit lighter dinner.
