2. Pumpkin Pasta

Rach cooks up a few riffs on pumpkin pasta every year. Right now, she's loving Pasta with Pumpkin, Brown Butter, Crispy Sage and Nuts and this decadent Pumpkin Pasta (just swap the chicken stock out for vegetable stock to make it vegetarian). We're also still dreaming about her recipe for Pumpkin Pasta with Vodka Cream. 

3. Porcini and Greens Risotto

With her Ramen with Sesame-Miso Broth and Baked Crispy Tofu and Mushroom and Crispy Tofu Ramen Bowls, Rach proves that there's little better than a brothy, hearty, homemade bowl of vegetarian ramen on a chilly day. 

5. Plant-Based Burgers

"We love Impossible—it's delicious," Rachael says. "In fact, John prefers it to beef." High praise! 

Check out Rach's Pub Cheese "Impossible" Burgers, Spicy Big S'mack Burgers with Swiss, Meatless Big S'mack Burgers and Meatless Buffalo BBQ Burgers with Mustard Slaw, just to name a few. 

Hot Tip: Rach's burger recipes usually include the option to swap in plant-based patties instead, even if she makes them with beef on the show!
