There are lots of fuss-free veggie recipes that can be whipped up in a flash. Vegetarian pasta is a great choice for when you want something quick and simple for mid-week dinner, especially as there are a lot of easy pasta sauces to choose from. Creme fraiche is always a delicious base, as it creates a creamy sauce that pairs with all veggies, while stirring through pesto can fill a dish with flavour.

If you’re looking for something a little more unusual but still super quick, Middle Eastern dishes are a great choice. Veggie options such as Shakshouka, as well as stews made from lentils and chickpeas, are always tasty and filling. Mediterranean meals are always a crowd pleaser too, with recipes like Ratatouille being surprisingly easy to make.

For an even easier dinner, vegetarian meal plans from HelloFresh are perfect for speeding up mid-week meals. You'll get all the pre-portioned ingredients delivered to your door, along with easy-to-follow recipes that even the most inexperienced cooks can follow.

Whether you’re a flexitarian who’s looking for the best vegetarian recipes to experiment with, or you’re hosting a dinner party for veggie guests, there are lots of meat-free meals that taste indulgent and luxurious. Indian recipes rely very little on meat, so many vegetarian options are naturally rich and packed with flavour. Choose a saag or dhal that uses aubergine, tofu or lentils instead of meat, as these ingredients will still feel deliciously fulfilling in a curry. These are also great to make in a big batch too, so they’re perfect for dinner parties.

Risotto is also one of the best vegetarian dinner recipes because its rich, creamy flavour feels special, plus it can be paired with a range of accompaniments such as roasted vegetables, toasted nuts and cheeses, from mozzarella to goat’s cheese. There are many more Italian dishes that can be made vegetarian friendly too, including flatbread pizza and parmigiana.

Vegetarian meals can be a great way to get your five-a-day, as they can be easily packed with lots of colourful veggies. Mediterranean recipes especially are super colourful and low calorie - think Ratatouille, green superfood pasta and roasted veg flatbread. There are also many low calorie vegetarian recipes too, great for those sticking to a diet plan. Bean stews, veggie curries, ramen and chickpea tagine can all be made to have less than around 650 calories.
