I want to introduce a couple of meat free days into my diet and I'm struggling for ideas. I'm more than happy cooking from scratch but I can't think of anything more inspiring than pasta dishes or jacket potatoes! Please send some inspiration my way!

Vegetarian lasagne is amazing! Just any veggies instead of the mince (we tend to do leeks and spinach) and use ricotta instead of white sauce.
So leeks and spinach mixed with ricotta, lasagne sheets, normal red sauce, and repeat.

We also eat a lot of egg based dishes.

Curries with cashew nuts is always a winner plus the cashews offer a good source of protein Smile

Wow...thanks for the ideas everyone! Lentil ragu added to the meal plan for our evening meal and cous cous salads for my lunches for next week. Think frittata will be lunches for me too, thanks again everyone this has given me the kick I needed
