Mexican Lasagna! I make this weekly and my whole family loves it. Super easy to make too!

I don’t really use a recipe for lasagna. I add the layers I mentioned above:
sauce and mushrooms (and sometimes the veggie ground round)- you can add other veggies like bell pepper or zucchini
pasta,
ricotta and spinach,
pasta,
sauce and
finally mozzarella and parmesan
. The main thing is to put lots of sauce on top so the top doesn’t get dried out. Depending on what pasta you use, if you use dry pasta, then wet the noodles. I follow the recipe on the pasta box to determine timings, and then add whatever layers I want.
I also uncover for the last 10 minutes to let it brown.
The tik tok feta tomato pasta bake is actually really good.
Is the entire family vegetarian? Do they eat cheese? Meatless charcuterie platters are very fun. Cheese, assorted crackers, fruit, olives, cornichons, hummus, roasted peppers, nuts, etc. My kids love charcuterie night and only 2 out of the 5 of us eat meat.

I don't have any main dish ideas, but I hope you make your fruit salad for them! I follow your suggestions for fruit combinations, and the result is colorful and delicious.

I like this vegetable soup recipe.

I'm probably too late to the game, but I've made this for vegetarian friends --it's super easy to prepare (b/c it's mostly just a lot of chopping) and it always gets rave reviews. My family adores it too. Just double the chickpeas -- they go fast!

(not that this is your situation but it also works great for families where only one person is a vegetarian (or even vegan) b/c you can use the chickpea spices as a rub for chicken and grill a couple breasts to include as well. Since everything is served separately and people combine themselves, it's easy for everyone to make theirs how they'd like.
