"This recipe came from: http://www.care2.com/channels/solutions/food/1056 It is absolutely divine. It even has non-tofu people singing its praises. It is a great "starter vegetarian" type recipe. I like to serve it with some plain rice."

Ingredients: salt & freshly ground black pepper, white button mushrooms...

"This wonderfully simple recipe comes from 'The Vegetarian 5 Ingredient Gourmet' by Nava Atlas."

Ingredients: pasta sauce, soft tofu...

"From Louise Hagler's Tofu Cookery. We can hardly wait for the first minestrone of the season and practically make a ceremony out of it, then make it all winter long. This is the best recipe I've found. We keep it in the fridge and eat it often. Reheats like a dream in the microwave."

Ingredients: pepper, canned kidney beans...

"This recipe substitutes ricotta cheese with tofu. Don't tell anyone, and they'll never know the difference! You can also add some meat-substitute (my favorite is Quorn grounds) to make what seems to be a meaty lasagna... and only you will know there's no meat in it!"

Ingredients: fresh ground pepper, dried basil...

"These are a fantastic substitute for the regular ricotta cheese-filled stuffed shells! My dairy-eating mother said she wouldn't have guessed they were made with tofu if I hadn't told her. I halved this recipe and baked it in an 8x8 square dish and it worked great, although I did have leftover sauce and stuffing mixture. I also omitted the mozzarella..."

Ingredients: chives, pepper, garlic powder...

"This recipe came from a desire to use less meat and heathier alternatives in our family's food. My family loves it! We've even served it to others who are dead-set against eating anything with tofu in it and they praised it (before knowing about the tofu) and were pleasantly surprised. I hope this works as well for you as it did for me! Excellent..."

Ingredients: pepper, firm tofu...

"I created this myself after looking at a few recipes... my attempt was to get more veggies and soy and make it lower calorie at the same time. I was happy with how this turned out... especially the cheese mixture. No one will know it is soy! The end result isn't as rich as the original version but still quite filling. If you aren't worried..."

Ingredients: pepper, summer squash, eggs...

"One of my absolute favorite vegan dishes that is reminiscent of the Italian dish with sausage. Any shape pasta will work, but I've found that the spiral shaped works best. I have also made this with just spinach or regular broccoli in place of the broccoli rabe."

Ingredients: salt & freshly ground black pepper, dried oregano...

"A vegetarian version of the Olive Garden's tasty classic."

Ingredients: soy sausage, dark red kidney beans...

"This is my version of one of the best things my mom ever made--Johnny Marzetti! A little lasagna, a little spaghetti, a little personalization and voila! A yummy meatless dish for supper."

Ingredients: tempeh, green peppers...

"For a healthier version use low-fat mozzarella and cottage cheese. If you would like to freeze one of the pans for later use, put it in the freezer before cooking it and cook for an hour and 1/2 instead of 1 hour when you are ready to use it. This was modified from a recipe in Real People Cookin' Low Fat."

Ingredients: pepper, cottage cheese...

"Vegetarian spaghetti sauce with TVP, onion, garlic, and lots of herbs."

Ingredients: extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil...

"This is one of my family's absolute favorite soups. The tender, succulent tofu nuggets are a big hit with non-vegetarians too. We always serve it with a loaf of freshly-cooked bread cut in thick slices... *drool*"

Ingredients: dried basil, dried oregano...

"From J.M. Hirsch's Venturesome Vegetarian Cooking. Thyme was replaced with fresh oregano; eggplant replaced with zucchini. You'll notice there's another interesting herb added to this recipe... Note: for dairy version, switch out ricotta cheese or cottage cheese for the tofu and add some shredded mozzarella, parmenan, asiago, etc.- (about..."

Ingredients: Greek oregano, pasta shells...
