What vegetarian dish should I bring to a New Year's Eve party?

How about a 4 cheese Pasta Florentine?....here's the link...and then I will add the modifications to this recipe>>http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/four-cheese-pa...

Note....use fresh baby spinach instead, sautee with olive oil, garlic, onion, salt and pepper while the pasta is cooking..... use twice the cream cheese (use 1/3 less fat) and omit the egg. ... also use some of the pasta water to loosen the sauce a little so it's not too "dry". Finally, I top it with good quality Parmaggiano Reggiano Cheese.

(The spices added help to make this dish not so "bland").

Or I was going to suggest stuffed mushrooms (which can be made with anything you want)...and they look great sitting in those little scooped-out slots in a deviled egg tray (my little g-daughter came up with that idea ;). Those plastic dishes can be bought at a party store.

OMG!!! I'm also veg and you should deffidentally take advice from a two year vegetarian. I'm no cook infact I don't know how but here are some ideas

lasagne

spetzle

speghetti

risito

ravioli

tortelini

salad-- Greek salad(tomatos,feta,tomatos,onions,), potato or pasta salad, caprese salad (mozzerella, tomatos) , ceased salad (lettuce, crutons, lemon juice) or my fav apple salad wich I had at a Italian resteraunt with grapes, apples, gorgonzola, spinach, walnuts and dressing. It's DELICOUS!!!. Also a beam salad would be nice.

Tabbouleh is a middle eastern wheat salad

tofu curry with rice

here are some apperizers that you could make into main dishes and for the futer.

hummus with pita bread and veggies

cheese pie

spinach pie

stuffed grape leaves with rice

zuchini pancake

veg sushi

that's all I can think of right now

good luck!!! happy new year!!

hummus and baby carrots , celery sticks.crackers and chips to dip. good and easy too.

"Arroz con Gandules" (rice with pigeon peas) - The recipe is attached below. You can make it without the ham. This is great Puerto Rican dish... You'll be the hit of the party with this one I'm sure.

I would do a festive and pretty, seasoned rice dish with nuts and veggies. Probably crock pot friendly. Start with a skillet, some olive oil or butter, fav seasonings (how about ginger, garlic, onion?) and add rice to coat. Stir in some sliced almonds or chopped pecans, sautee for a minute or so then move it all to your slow cooker or soup pot. Then add double plus a little more of vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and let it cook until everything is heated through. Add veggies when needed due to their cooking times. If you want to keep things nice and easy you can buy a frozen mixed veggie blend, or some peas and carrots, and add at the last minute.

Garnish with some toasted almonds, sliced scallions, drizzle of oil...whatever's clever!

carrot, spinach, potato, cauliflower, cabbage,
