Receta Recipe For Vegetarian Pasta Bake

by Tandy Sinclair

Biodiversity in farming and growing organic produce will ensure our ecology is maintained in a balanced way. Eating regionally, seasonally and using sustainable produce is what I am about. Here my recipe for vegetarian pasta bake makes use of only organic products. Organic Vegetarian Pasta Bake Head straight on to the recipe for Vegetarian Pasta Bake ♥ My seven year anniversary of writing Lavender and Lime slipped by without much notice. In that time I have made my best effort to stick to my philosophy of eating as regionally as possible. We eat seasonal ingredients and I believe that this has contributed to our good health.When invited by Faithful to Nature to take part in their organic recipe challenge I was obviously interested. Together with other bloggers, all I had to do was create one vegetarian, seasonal, organic summer family meal. The recipe had to incorporate fresh produce from a retailer of my choice and pantry ingredients from Faithful to Nature. As this is the way we eat, the challenge was easily met. I chose to make a vegetarian pasta bake as the recipe can be adapted to suit the seasons. Organic Pantry Products From Faithful to Nature Today’s inspiration ♥ Recipe For Vegetarian Pasta Bake ♥ can be found on Lavender and Lime… Click To Tweet September is classified as spring and the following vegetables are in season or coming into season right now: artichokes, asparagus, aubergines (eggplants), baby marrows (courgettes/zucchini), beetroot, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, butternut, cauliflower, corn on the cob, kale, parsnips, red onions, turnips and watercress. We are not spoilt for choice when it comes to readily accessible organic produce in Gordons Bay but on a Saturday morning there is a farmers’ market at Paardevlei and one of the local producers sells organic vegetables and fruit. I let the produce available dictate the vegetables in my dish and I added just enough to make this a generous family meal.
