"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..."

Ingredients: raw cashews, corn, pasta sauce...

"This was a favorite in the hostel that I lived in and we were lucky enough to have the real stuff in Indonesia. You can just buy the 20cent ramen packets and not use the flavorings. That works just fine, and I recommend the eggs more than the tofu... but whatever floats your boat."

Ingredients: eggs, firm tofu...

"Hearty vegetarian/vegan sauce has wonderful blend whether you use fresh or dry/canned ingredients. This adaptability makes for nice summer garden or winter canned applications with respect to ingredients on hand. For vegan, leave off cheese and add salt. Even college kids can cook this!"

Ingredients: dried parsley, dry linguine...

"I came up with this recipe on my own after taking the best from several others I'd tried. The last time I made this for a party, everyone went crazy for it. I received two of the best compliments I’ve ever received for my cooking. One person told me it was the best lasagna he’d tasted in his life. The other person, an Italian woman, told me this..."

Ingredients: dried basil, dried oregano...

"This is an easy lasagna to make. It smells wonderful while cooking and tastes great. I adapted this recipe from a combination of others and came up with this vegetarian version. You can make this vegan easily by adding more of your favorite vegetables and using soy cheeses. Even the non vegetarians I made this for had seconds."

Ingredients: pepper, dried oregano...

"This recipe whips up in no time. They freeze very well. The recipe comes from Light & Tasty Magazine."

Ingredients: pepper, dried basil...

"I came up with this recipe in attempt to please my husband who is not keen on fake meats. We all loved this dish and I don't believe he realized that the strips were not real chicken breast. The 6 year old licked his plate - literally. So if you happened to grab a bag and are wondering what on earth to do with it.... give this recipe a try. I know..."

Ingredients: cumin, dried basil...

"Simple to make and very tasty. It freezes amazingly well (largely because of how juicy it is...see Note below). One thing to note about this recipe is that the primary flavor is of fresh, delicious vegetables. I highly recommend not skimping on: salt, pepper, or garlic unless you are going to doctor it with your own spices. I sometimes throw in some..."

Ingredients: head of broccoli, white button mushrooms...

"Yes, there are vegetarians out there who don't like slimy zucchini, goopy squash and stringy spinach in their lasagna. I'm one of them. Veggies go in salads, not in my comfort foods. This is a great alternative, and it's yummy."

Ingredients: cottage cheese, pasta sauce...

"This was really good, although next time I will add a layer of chopped spinach. Serve with a salad and hot bread sticks."

Ingredients: cottage cheese, dried basil...

"Something I came up for our weekly "veggie night". We thought it was pretty good. A couple 15oz cans of black beans can be substituted for the dried ones to save time. This would be very good with some shredded cheddar added to the top if it as well. Prep time includes time to cook the lentils and pasta (which can be done at the same time)..."

Ingredients: cilantro, cumin...

"My wonderful sister-in-law, Taryn, has aptly named this recipe FOR me, after a pizza she had at Pizzaria Uno. This recipe is actually the lasagna I put together for my family's Christmas Eve Dinner in 2004. Please feel free to use "no-boil" lasagna noodles if you prefer. This recipe works with both kinds, just be sure to add a bit more..."

Ingredients: dried Italian seasoning, pecorino romano cheese...

"I love this recipe. Again, it's a way to sneak a variety of veggies into my son's diet. I really don't even miss the meat when I make it. I'm sure it would even be good if you tossed some ground turkey or beef into the mix."

Ingredients: dried basil leaves, dried oregano leaves...

"am i really the only one who does this? whenever i make it to feed hungry friends they think i've invented something amazing. seems perfectly logical to me...."

Ingredients: alfredo sauce, feta cheese...
