In the first days of septembermy diet is based almost entirely on preparations mainly temperate: salads, quick simple pastas and creamy rice dishes. I guess it’s natural, the products of the last days of summer have tempting shapes and colors. For this reason, I propose a weekly vegetarian menu easy to follow and implement, with simple cooking and mostly in the pan, so as not to turn on the oven.
