The ‘Glee’ star has been a vegan for a few years and although she is proud of her beliefs on animal rights she admits she missed eating the delicious pasta dish – which is made from layers of pasta, ground beef, cheese and tomato sauce – when she first made the lifestyle switch.

But luckily her mother showed her how to recreate the meal without the animal unfriendly products.

Lea – who plays Rachel Berry in the musical TV series – said: “I’m a vegan for many reasons, one being my love of animals. I’m an active member of PETA and I don’t wear fur. I’ve also found sticking to a meat-free diet has given me more energy.

The 24-year-old actress has always been adamant her meat-free diet is great for keeping in shape and staying healthy.
