22 Meatless Meals For Two For Dinner

I just love vegetables! Growing them, cooking them, and especially eating them. I hope you love vegetables as well. I am guessing you do because you found these simple and healthy meatless meals for two.

From vegetarian pasta recipes, to healthy side dishes, to some unique Italian meatless recipe ideas, this list of meatless meals for two has something for everyone.

Most of the vegetables you will see in these healthy recipes I grow in my 300 square foot kitchen garden. My favorite vegetables to grow are green beans, spinach, eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, and potatoes. These vegetables can produce a lot of food in a small space. Which I appreciate because I prefer to garden by the square-foot gardening method in raised garden beds.
