Some dishes I regularly make:

Hamburger mush - 1 lb ground beef, beef bouillon (enough to make ~2 cups of broth), 2 tbsp flour, water

Cook and drain ground beef, add bouillon + flour + enough water to be liquidy, let it cook on low until paste like consistency. Serve over rice with vegetables (mushrooms, broccoli, cabbage, zucchini, bokchoy in any combination are good)

-----------------------------------------------------

Chocolate quinoa - 1 cup quinoa, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, 1/4 cup chocolate protein powder, honey

Cook quinoa. Mix cocoa powder and chocolate protein powder with some hot water, enough to make a sauce. Add honey to taste, mix with cooked quinoa

-----------------------------------------------------

Greek yogurt alfredo - 2 tsp butter, 1 tsp garlic powder, 3/4 cup greek yogurt, 1/2 cup grated parm

Melt butter in small pot or pan, add garlic powder, mix in yogurt. Set heat to low and stir in parm until it's melted. Serve over pasta and vegetables

I hate to come off as a snarky purist, but there isn't need to go to weird italofusion combinations if you want variable, vegetable heavy diet based around rice, pasta, or legumes. In South Italy we cook vegetable and olive oil based sauces in the time it takes to boil water and cook the pasta. Then you mix these together while finishing the cooking of the drained pasta. Every single vegetable is fair game. You just need a good source of fat, which is served by olive oil. The pasta or lentil base gives you protein enough that you only seek meat or heavier protein sources every fourth meal or so.


Those sauces sound good. The alfredo sauce is actually really delicious though, it's become one of my favourite meals.
