"If you've heard about the Engine 2 Diet and want to try an Engine 2 approved recipe, here's a sample recipe to try. This is Rip Esselstyn's "Raise the Roof" sweet potato vegetarian lasagna. It's so good, he says, that he served it at his own wedding! It's also low in fat and cholesterol-free. Recipe courtesy of The Engine..."

"This dish is very economical, fast and really tasty. Made this when I was first married and money was very tight.(we were in the military). I still make it a lot, using different kinds of beans."

Ingredients: dried basil, ditalini...

"This is a great dish when you have little time to cook but something fulfilling and with great taste. The original recipe calls for 1 lb of spaghetti, but since I like more sauce I decreased the amount to 3/4 lb. It's up to you how much pasta you'd like to use. The sauce comes together quickly and the results are always excellent. Begin the..."

Ingredients: tomatoes with juice, dried red pepper flakes...

"I am Torgo. When The Master told me we were becoming vegan, I said it was an abomination. He then reminded me, "You're the abomination, goat boy!" Since he doesn't yet want to give up his favorite comfort foods (and comfort wives), I concocted this simple fake lasagna. It makes 2 large portions if only accompanied with bread, or 4..."

Ingredients: pepper, cornflour, dried basil...

"Vegan version of the popular comfort food. I'm not big on processed food, buuut sometimes this is the only thing that hits the spot. Dairy, egg, nut and cholesterol free! Use gluten free pasta to make it celiac/allergy friendly.

I add capers, pine nuts, sun dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, asparagus, peppers, hot pepper, or herbs depending..."

"This light and creamy pesto will go great with any pasta, on top of breaded and fried eggplant, grilled chicken, or even on top of salmon! It tastes great warmed up or even cold the next day. I've used all sweet basil, and I've used a mixture of sweet basil, lemon basil, and lime basil. You can also add a serrano pepper for extra kick! Turns..."

"Done fairly quickly. Awesome dish for spring/summer."

Ingredients: raw cashews, vegan margarine...

"This recipe and variations of it are basically a food group in our house. It's just so versatile and easy (and healthy too) -- you can basically use whatever vegetables you like or have on hand. The saltiness combined with the savouriness of the parmesan cheese just make it so addictive. Half the time I make this, I add the diced tomatoes, and..."

Ingredients: noodles, dried basil...

"Will be attempting this tonight. Per the Bob's Red Mill website:This recipe can be made without the unbleached white flour, producing a very good pasta, but it is harder to work with. To create an eggless pasta with any type of flour, substitute about 2/3 cup water for every two eggs.

Personal note: the olive oil in this makes it more..."
