Two vegetarian diamonds from Yasmin FahrHere’s two really good vegetarian recipes. These dishes’ll satisfy even a meat and sausage lover like me! The first recipe is a creamy feta-based, roasted veggie dish served over orzo, hit’s all the marks. I’m also dishing up a little feta history. It’s super easy and you can chunk in just about any kind of veggies. I might even try it over different kinds of pasta. And speaking switching out pasta, the second recipe leaves a lot of room for being creative too – wheat or gluten-free pasta, kale instead of spinach, and from mild to burn out the bung hole hot – however you like it.RatingsI’m givin’ both recipes 5 forks!Links Recipe: Sheet-Pan Baked Feta and VeggiesRecipe: Spicy Butternut Pasta with Spinach Keeping It Simple: Easy Weeknight One-pot Recipes by Yasmin Fahr Yasmin Fahr Website Salt Fat Acid Heat on Netflix Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat: Mastering the Elements of Good Cooking by Samin NosratCan Feta Cheese Be Made with Cow's Milk? - Sheep's Milk and the Story Behind Real Feta Cheese by Nancy Gaifyllia, The Spruce Eats Dicing a Butternut Squash Video Submit Your Recipe or Restaurant RecommendationThis Episode Sponsored by: Instacart - Squarespace (SAVE 10% on your first website subscription when you enter PARTNER10 at checkout!) - LeftBrainRightBrain Marketing
