If you are vegetarian, you can stuff with green peas, courgettes, mushrooms, artichokes, and other vegetables as you like.<\/p>\n<p>When you cook vegetables, never add salt at the beginning. As you can see in this recipe, adding salt at the end keeps the colour and a better texture of vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>In case you want to cook peas faster, add a pinch of bicarbonate into the pan.<\/p>\n<p>You can replace b\u00e9chamel with cream, soymilk, or other vegetarian alternative. Use breadcrumbs to get a crispy\u00a0baked pasta (you can also use panko).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baked spaghetti roll For Italians, this week\u2019s recipe brings back happy childhood memories.\u00a0 Our mothers made it with leftover spaghetti, because, well, they never threw out anything!
