What does a vegetairan eat

Lynne asked for it I'll provide it. Its another addition of what a vegetarian eats. Currently in the oven is my own concoction I'm going to call:
Kristel's veggie pasta bake

1. Boil pasta noodles of any shape or size- (package sizes depending on how much food you want)
-I used about 1 large package of corkscrew pasta
2. While the pasta is boiling find a baking dish that will fit your pasta plus room for the extras you will add.
-I used a large casserole baking dish
3. Add in: Herbs (to your taste, fresh or dried), cheese (to your liking in both kind and amount), pasta sauce (also the amount depends on how sauce you like it and how many noodles you have)
-for today I used fresh basil, parsley, and oregano; Colby-jack cheese (2 cups) and pepper jack cheese (1 cup in cubes); 1 jar of Barilla three cheese pasta sauce (a little more expensive but the taste is worth it)
-other add in ideas chopped veggies (peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, mushrooms), or fried tofu
4. Heat oven to 350 degrees
5. Cook pasta till it is just shy of being ready to eat (still a little tough to chew)
6. Mix all ingredients into your greased casserole pan


This is pre-baking picture
7. Bake a 350 for 20 minutes or until cheese is melty
(not is good to stir the dish 1/2 through baking so it does not get to dry on top)
As mine is not quite done yet I will add a more note after I eat. Enjoy!
