i love that you posted that you don't eat meat, and lots of folks kept giving you meat recipes.

a bag of dried beans cost about $.70.
there's not much cheaper than that.

onesnowyowl speaks the truth about beans - listen up!

soak the beans overnight.
then simmer them with bay leaf, garlic cloves, onion, celery, carrot,
AND (drum roll) parmesean rind.

normally, i'd nice a nice pork knuckle or hoof, but i know that's not for you.
it really adds that extra oomph,
but a parm rind does a very nice job of the same.

buy some REAL parmesean (not that canned stuff)
and grate it fresh on your spaghetti
and you might get less tired of your pasta with some real cheese.

you can cut the rind of the end any time when you're ready to do a veggie soup or beans. it's nice in a veggie soup. this is making me hungry.
