The recipe_count field indicates a larger collection of 8 recipes, but this article features only the five provided priced recipes and does not invent missing recipe names or costs.

Seasonal Recipes with Real Ingredient Costs

The provided Quebec seasonal recipe set ranges from $16.21 for Skillet Ziti and Vegetables to $69.22 for Vegetarian Patties. Each recipe below includes the exact total cost, servings, cost per serving where provided, preparation time and real ingredient rows from eezly real-time price tracking. You can use this section to decide whether your seasonal grocery list Quebec should prioritize the lowest total cost, the lowest cost per serving, vegetarian options, quick dinners or recipes that use stores you already plan to visit.

Pasta with Tomato Sauce — $23.67 total, $5.92 per serving

Pasta with Tomato Sauce costs $23.67 at Costco for 4 servings, with a provided cost per serving of $5.92. The priced ingredients are Deci’Ova Pasta Di Campofilone Pasta at $15.19 at Costco, Kumato Tomatoes at $6.49 at IGA and Garlic at $1.99 at Metro. If you want a straightforward pasta meal for a Quebec household, this recipe gives you a simple three-ingredient priced list across three store names.

The key cost driver in this recipe is the pasta itself. Deci’Ova Pasta Di Campofilone Pasta is listed at $15.19 at Costco, which is higher than the Kumato Tomatoes at $6.49 at IGA and Garlic at $1.99 at Metro. You should treat this as a pantry-forward meal where the premium pasta line carries most of the recorded recipe cost, while the produce and garlic round out the tomato sauce profile.

For your shopping route, the recipe is not tied to a single store for every ingredient. Costco is the recipe’s listed store_name, but the ingredient-level prices show IGA for Kumato Tomatoes and Metro for Garlic. If you already shop across Costco, IGA and Metro in Quebec, this recipe fits a multi-store grocery pattern; if you prefer a shorter trip, you can still use the ingredient list as a price benchmark before deciding where to buy.

Noodleless Lasagna — $42.04 total, $7.01 per serving

Noodleless Lasagna costs $42.04 at Maxi for 6 servings, with a provided cost per serving of $7.01. The recipe is tagged as a quick dinner and no_pork, and its priced ingredients include Zucchini at $1.54 at Maxi, Marinara Pasta Sauce at $2.94 at Maxi, 2% Cottage Cheese at $4.29 at Metro and Lean Ground Beef at $10.00 at maxi 1. If you want a lower-carb lasagna-style dinner without noodles, this is the provided Quebec option with a complete real-cost ingredient breakdown.

The recipe’s cheese and protein items account for several of the larger listed prices. Saputo Cheese Whole Milk Ricotta 300 g is priced at $6.49 at Canada inc., 100% Parmesan Shredded Cheese is priced at $10.29 at Canada inc. and Burnbrae Farms Egg Creations Whole Egg Original 500 g is priced at $6.49 at Canada inc. When you build your grocery list, you should pay attention to these higher-priced dairy and egg components because they shape the final $42.04 total more than the vegetable items do.

This recipe is also useful if you shop at Maxi for produce and sauce. Zucchini at $1.54 and Marinara Pasta Sauce at $2.94 are both listed at Maxi, giving you two low-priced recipe components at the same banner. The recipe’s listed store_name is Maxi, but the ingredient rows include Metro, Canada inc. and maxi 1 as store_name values, so your best planning approach is to keep the ingredient table open while deciding whether to consolidate your trip or compare item-by-item.

Vegetarian Patties — $69.22 total, $4.94 per serving

Vegetarian Patties cost $69.22 at Maxi for 14 servings, with a provided cost per serving of $4.94. Although this recipe has the highest total cost among the five provided Quebec recipes, it also has the largest serving count. If you are planning for batch cooking, lunches or a vegetarian meal prep week, the 14-serving yield makes the $69.22 total more meaningful than it would be for a four-serving dinner.

The recipe is tagged no_beef, no_fish, no_lamb, no_pork, no_red_meat, no_shellfish and vegetarian. The ingredient list includes California Vegetable Blend Mixed Vegetables at $4.00 at Maxi, Shredded Parmesan Cheese at $4.00 at Maxi, Shallots Onions at $4.39 at IGA, Celery at $4.99 at Metro and Gold Egg Organic Brown Eggs Large 12 Count at $8.59 at Metro. You also see pantry and seasoning items such as Litehouse Freeze Dried Basil 8 g at $6.99 at Canada inc., Thyme at $3.99 at Alimentation Alexandra Cloutier Inc. and Mustard Seeds, Yellow at $1.50 at Maxi.

For your seasonal recipes Quebec search, Vegetarian Patties are best understood as a batch recipe rather than a lowest-basket recipe. Olive Oil is listed at $19.99 at Metro, which is the highest individual ingredient price in the visible recipe data. Butter is $6.79 at Maxi and Heinz Mayonnaise Real 340 ml is $3.99 at IGA, so you should review your pantry before buying every listed item; if you already have oil, butter or mustard seeds, the real shelf price still matters, but your immediate basket may differ from the full priced recipe list.

Chicken & Brown Rice Dinner — $21.48 total, $5.37 per serving

Chicken & Brown Rice Dinner costs $21.48 at Maxi for 4 servings, with a provided cost per serving of $5.37. It is tagged no_pork and no_red_meat, and the priced ingredients are Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast at $15.24 at Maxi, Whole Water Chestnuts at $1.50 at Maxi, Cream of Chicken Condensed Soup at $1.25 at Metro and Instant Rice at $3.49 at IGA. If you are choosing a quick dinner with animal protein, this is the lowest total-cost meat-based recipe in the provided Quebec set.

The chicken breast price is the main number to watch. Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast at $15.24 at Maxi represents the highest single listed ingredient in the recipe, while the supporting ingredients are much lower: $1.50 for Whole Water Chestnuts at Maxi, $1.25 for Cream of Chicken Condensed Soup at Metro and $3.49 for Instant Rice at IGA. Your meal-planning decision should therefore start with whether you want to allocate most of the recipe budget to chicken as the main protein.

This recipe is also compact from a grocery-list perspective. With only four priced ingredient rows, you can compare the basket quickly and decide whether you want to shop Maxi first because it carries the chicken breast and water chestnuts in the ingredient data. If you are already visiting IGA for Instant Rice or Metro for condensed soup, the recipe still gives you clear price anchors for each store.

Skillet Ziti and Vegetables — $16.21 total, $2.70 per serving

Skillet Ziti and Vegetables costs $16.21 at Metro for 6 servings, with a provided cost per serving of $2.70. Among the five provided recipes, it is the lowest total cost and the lowest provided cost per serving. For cheap seasonal meals Quebec, this is the strongest value in the list because the recipe produces six servings while staying below the total costs of Pasta with Tomato Sauce, Chicken & Brown Rice Dinner, Noodleless Lasagna and Vegetarian Patties.

The priced ingredients include Provolone Cheese at $4.49 at Metro, Tout Prêt Fresh Mixed Vegetables Shredded Carrots 340 g at $3.99 at Canada inc., Whole Wheat Pasta Shapes in Tomato Sauce at $3.29 at Metro, Whole Water Chestnuts at $1.50 at Maxi and Marinara Pasta Sauce at $2.94 at Maxi. You can see that no single visible ingredient row reaches $5.00, which helps explain why the total remains $16.21. The recipe is tagged quick dinner, and its prep_time is listed as 15 minutes.
