5 Modified Recipes For the Vegetarian In Your Life

Ashley Geiser
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Pace chapter.

Truth be told I am not a vegetarian, and so I needed some help with this article. My younger sister has been a vegetarian for about four years now and I asked her to share some of her favorite recipes with me, which she makes her own by modifying the recipes to be vegetarian friendly.

*Note: instead of chicken the desired substitute will be tofu or Gardein Meatless Chick’n Strips

Chicken, Spinach, and Artichoke Rigatoni

A simple recipe for pasta lovers and those looking to add some new flavor into their pasta dishes, this dish is a favorite because of the pasta type chosen, rigatoni but of course the pasta can be switched to your favorite: “Chicken, Spinach, and Artichoke Rigatoni” (for the full list ingredients and directions check delish).
