How to Make Spaghetti Vegetable Burger Pie

How to Make Spaghetti Vegetable Burger Pie



This is a great way to use up leftover cooked spaghetti. It is a substantial meal that will feed vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike; great accompanied with salad and steamed kale or similar dark vegetable. And the best thing? It's easy to prepare!

Ingredients

  • 4 vegetable burgers
  • 3 cups leftover cooked spaghetti
  • 1 1/2 cups pasta sauce (choose your own flavour)
  • Fresh basil leaves, chopped, to taste (dried is fine as a substitute)
  • 1 cup grated cheese or vegan cheese substitute
  • Pie dish - 9"/23cm diameter
  • Tray
  • Baking paper

Steps

  1. Assemble ingredients.
  2. Preheat oven to 350ºF/190ºC.
  3. Cut the frozen vegetable burgers into quarters.
  4. Line the pie plate with the quarters, allowing for occasional overlapping.
  5. Mix the cooked spaghetti with the sauce. Stir in basil to taste.
  6. Put the spaghetti mixture over the layered burgers. Make sure that the spaghetti mixture fills out the pie plate, completely covering the burger quarters underneath.
  7. Sprinkle cheese or cheese substitute over the top.
  8. Put the pie plate onto a tray lined with baking paper.
  9. Bake the dish on the lowest level of the oven. Allow 35 - 45 minutes cooking time, or until pasta has become crispy and the cheese is melted.
  10. Remove from oven and allow to cool 5 - 10 minutes.
  11. Slice and serve; or place directly on the table for self-service.

Tips

  • Accompany this dish with salad, mixed bean salad, steamed leaf vegetables or carrots.
  • To make this dish from uncooked spaghetti, cook approximately 100 g of dry spaghetti. Drain well before using for this recipe.
  • Substitute oregano for the basil if preferred.

An Alternative To Gelatin For Vegetarians Author: Jesus Smay Gelatin serves both nutritional and culinary roles in nonvegetarian diets; however, a lot of vegetarians and all vegans do not consume gelatin in its many forms because it is often created out of boiled pig skins and dissolved veal cartilage and bones. This leaves vegetarians with a gap in cooking functionality when a recipe calls for a gel or thickening agent. It also leaves vegetarians with fewer options if they need a source of gelatin to increase bone and cartilage health. If you are a vegetarian and you are looking for something to replace gelatin, do not despair. Here are some alternative options for you: Use a rice starch alternative. A&B Ingredients recently developed a rice starch alternative to gelatins that mimics the cooking functionality of gelatins closely. Use a soy-based alternative. Soyfoods USA developed NuSoy Gel, a gelatin alternative which was created entirely out of of soy isoflavones a...
5 Vegetarian Recipes for Breakfast Author: Danielle Tucker Starting the day off right is essential no matter what kind of food you like to eat.  While many people think of only cereal with milk or bacon and eggs as breakfast foods, those who don't eat animal proteins find those ideas unappealing.  Does that mean you are relegated to salads for breakfast if you are a vegetarian ?  Absolutely not!  Recipes for great breakfasts, whether you eat eggs or not, are easy to make and tasty too.

Recipe for a Healthy Life Author: Leah R. Williams Experts say there are two basic categories of foods that can be seen as nutritious food that help keep off the pounds. Which are the fruits and vegetables and nutrients that give our bodies that resistance? If fruits and vegetables are the "food group nutrients that help "keep-it-off", does fiber play in the maintenance of super-nutrients?  Protein is another super-nutrient. It has become more scientifically accepted that protein may help reduce appetite. The protein also provides little resistance and can increase metabolism in the process. But it is imperative that you choose your proteins wisely, because like all other foods, if you eat more than your body needs, it will appear in the scale as a gain rather than a loss. If you're trying to lose weight, eating fresh food is vital to plan for weight loss. Also, eating fruits and vegetables help hair, skin and teeth stay attractive and healthy. And when you think a...
