Be sure not to overcook the pasta or it will turn mushy. And don't skip the balsamic vinegar at the end—it's a bright finishing touch.

Microwaveable lentils need just a short time in the pan to finish cooking. If you have cooked or canned lentils on hand, you can use them in their place, but you may have to shave a few minutes off the cooking time so they don't get too soft. We like how the soft, runny yolk coats the dish. If you want a harder yolk, cover the pan and add 2 or 3 minutes to the cooking time. View Recipe Save 03 of 16 Bitter Greens Salad with Beets & Oranges Leigh Beisch Beets may be earthy, tasting of the soil they're grown in, but these roots also contain the most natural sugar of any vegetable. And when roasted, all that sweetness is intensified. This jewel-toned take on caprese swaps tomatoes for beets and oranges, and basil for peppery arugula and radicchio. Toasted breadcrumbs sprinkled over the top add crunch. View Recipe Save 04 of 16 Eggplant Rollatini Photographer: Morgan Hunt Glaze, Food Stylist: Ruth Blackburn, Prop Stylist: Christine Keely This tender eggplant rollatini will melt in your mouth. Double-baking the eggplant helps soften the eggplant slices for rolling. If you have extra eggplant, chop it up and sauté it in oil with a little garlic and combine with wilted dark leafy greens like spinach or kale for an easy side. A hunk of toasted whole-grain bread completes the meal.

A sprinkle of dried fruit serves as a counterpoint to the warm curry spices. Serve with brown rice or naan, if desired. View Recipe Save 06 of 16 Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Casserole Sara Haas This healthy vegetarian casserole is a standout on any table. Crushed red pepper provides a little kick to this creamy main dish. We love the ease of jarred roasted red peppers, but if you have time, feel free to roast them yourself. View Recipe Save 07 of 16 Creamy Mushroom & Orzo Soup with Lemon & Parmesan Diana Chistruga This creamy mushroom soup is filled with hearty orzo and plenty of veggies. The sherry, thyme and lemon boost and brighten the flavor, while sour cream thickens the broth and gives it extra tanginess. View Recipe Save 08 of 16 Pumpkin & Black Bean Soup Fred Hardy This quick and easy vegan pumpkin black bean soup is filled with veggies. Convenient canned pumpkin, beans and coconut milk flavored with curry make it a hearty fall meal. View Recipe Save 09 of 16 Baked Spinach & Feta Pasta Jason Donnelly Feta softens in the oven before it's combined with spinach and pasta, with the pasta cooking right in the baking dish. Enjoy this one-pan pasta with feta dish on its own as a vegetarian main or serve with sautéed chicken breast for a boost of protein. View Recipe Save 10 of 16 Creamy Zucchini-Chickpea Soup with Spinach Carolyn Hodges, M.S., RDN Canned chickpeas combined with tahini thicken this simple vegetable soup and give it a creamy consistency. The chickpeas also provide satisfying plant protein and combine with the veggies to add plenty of fiber, vitamins and minerals. Serve this easy dinner with baguette slices.

It's often served for breakfast or lunch in North Africa and the Middle East . View Recipe Save 12 of 16 Chipotle Tofu Tacos Jason Donnelly Here, we tear the tofu instead of cutting it. That might sound odd, but it's the best way to get crisp, crumbly edges reminiscent of fish tacos. Coating with a flavorful cornstarch mixture helps maximize the crunch.

Top with a dollop of pesto and/or a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
