I absolutely love this recipe, we've made it tons of times:

-Instead of turkey we use Spinach
-if you're in a pinch for time you can substitute the sauce for your favorite canned pasta sauce and it's still delicious

My boyfriend is a vegetarian and I am not.. but I am also not a *huge* meat eater either....

Here are some of our favorites that I don't think need meat at all:

I haven't bought an ice cream maker yet... so I'm really curious about semifreddo!

My boyfriend is a vegetarian so all of our dinners end up being vegetarian and I don't miss the meat out of any of them!! Here are a few of our favorites:

http://thesepeasarehollow.blogspot.com/2010/09/its-fall-somewhere.html (definitely my favorite)

http://www.loveandoliveoil.com/2008/08/ultimate-veggie-burger.html (we top these with carmelized onions, mushrooms, avocado, sprouts, bbq sauce.. whatever we have around)

http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/turkey-and-artichoke-stuffed-shells-with-arrabbiata-sauce-recipe/index.html (we use spinach instead of turkey)

http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipes/Tube-Shaped-Pasta-with-Wild-Mushrooms (so simple and so yummy!! we ended up using a mixture of shitake, chanterelle, and crimini because the chanterelles were so expensive)

I always called it "Toad in the hole" hehe
