Lent-Friendly Meal Ideas

This year, Lent is observed March 1 through April 15. Of course fish is a popular alternative to meat during Lent, and we thought we’d share some meatless and seafood recipes for those observing Lent — or anyone who just wants a delicious, unique option.

Those who observe Lent know it can get tiresome repeating that same go-to fish dish. So Cervasi created a Meatless Pasta Recipes Pinterest board, as well as a Seafood Pasta Recipes board to provide more options.

Cervasi Meat Pasta Recipes Pinterest Board

You can find an almost unlimited number of Lent-friendly meal ideas on Pinterest.


Want specific meal ideas for Lent? Skip the fish sandwich and replace it with the Creamy White Wine Shrimp Alfredo instead. Making a dish for your local Fish Fry? A good meatless pasta salad would make a great side to bring, and we have more than 50 recipe ideas on our Pasta Salad Recipes board!
Fridays during Lent don’t have to consist only of fish sticks. Luckily, pasta is versatile enough to give everyone a great variety of options and flavor during the 40-day observation of Lent. For more meal ideas, visit our Cervasi recipe archive … and like us on Facebook, too!
