Looking for some One-Pot Vegetarian Meals to make your life easier on Meatless Monday? These recipes are not only delicious but only require one pot to prepare, making clean-up a breeze!
As a busy mom and environmental scientist, One-Pot Vegetarian Meals are my absolute favorite! Less clean-up means we save both time and water. Win, win!
Plus, with meatless dinner options, we are lowering our environmental footprint by consuming less high-impact foods like meat.
And with a variety of delicious recipe options to choose from, having just one pot to cook in certainly does not have to limit you! Here you will find my favorite one-pot vegetarian meals, plus the full recipe for my Gourmet Mushroom Risotto which is ALWAYS a good idea.
Green tip: Speaking of cleanup, if you have a dishwasher-use it! Comparing dishwashing to handwashing, using an efficient dishwasher uses 1/6th the amount of water to get your dishes clean!

20+ One-Pot Vegetarian Meals, Including Gourmet Truffle Mushroom Risotto
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large shallot, diced
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, chopped
- 1 pinch salt and pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup white wine
- ½ ounce dried porcini mushrooms
- 1 cup arborio rice
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter ((nondairy for vegan))
- ¼ cup shaved Parmesan ((remove for vegan))
- 1 tablespoon truffle oil
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, sauté the shallot and baby bella mushrooms in olive oil with salt and pepper until the juice from the mushrooms evaporates.
- Add white wine, garlic, and porcini mushrooms and continue to simmer until most of the liquid from the wine has evaporated and the porcini mushrooms are rehydrated.
- Add the rice and give it a couple of stirs.
- Add ½ cup of vegetable broth over medium-low heat, and stir continuously until all the liquid is absorbed by the rice. Keep repeating this step, ½ cup at a time until you've added all three cups of vegetable broth.
- Test your rice to make sure it's cooked through. Add a little water if necessary (¼ cup at a time).
- Remove from heat and add butter and parmesan. Stir until both are completely melted and integrated. Taste to see if you need any additional salt or pepper.
- Plate your portions and drizzle each with a dash of truffle oil. Serve hot.
Pro Tips
- Truffle oil is a finishing oil, meaning you should use it to drizzle on top, not to cook with.
- Make sure to continue to stir constantly while your rice is cooking!
- The Parmesan is optional because it’s honestly SO flavorful without it. It just adds a little bit of that ooey-gooey cheese texture. However, opting to leave it out makes this dish vegan, and just as delicious.
