I had originally planned to cook a dish using the Vegetarian Butcher’s chicken pieces last night, but by the time my mother and I got back from a trip to IKEA it was already pretty late and I didn’t feel like preparing anything elaborate. I decided to save the chicken pieces for a different meal and flipped through one of my cookbooks. Then this recipe caught my eye:
The Linguine with Pesto, Potatoes, and Green Beans from The Mediterranean Vegan Kitchen are delicious, but also super quick to prepare – you just boil the veggies and pasta in one pot while making the pesto, mix together, and serve! Just what I was looking for. It’s a simple dish, of course, but the potato added an interesting twist and it was the perfect dish to eat outside during the warm October evening we had.
I’m off to visit my cousin in a few minutes, but I’ve already done most of the prepping for my next MoFo meal. Hope you all have a lovely day!

I am so happy that you did not put the Vegetarian Butcher’s chicken pieces in…it looks and reads like it tasted great just like it is Bonnie.
Oh it did! this dish doesn’t need anything chicken-like at all, although I think it could be nice with more different vegetables. I made the chicken pieces into a peanut satay today which was also good :)
Peanut Satay – that is AWESOME!!! Sorry but I love peanuts.
That sounds delicious & that’s a cookbook I need to use more.
I don’t use it much either, but it has some great dishes that are really easy to whip up! I also like that its recipes rely mainly on vegetables and simple ingredients.
I have that book too and it often gets neglected. This looks like a great reason to pull it out. Your photo is lovely!
Thank you! :)
Gorgeous!
Thanks!
That looks really delicious! I picked up Mediterranean Vegan from the library when I was a new vegan. I need to check it out again.
Thanks! I’ve never actually seen cookbooks in libraries near me, I should have a better look. They probably won’t have any vegan ones, but you never know!
I’ve never had a look at that book and now I want to. love the greenery in this dish!
I love all the green too! it makes me want to add even more things like peas, zucchini, broccoli…
And now I wish I could lend you my book!
