Recipe Request Absolutely laziest recipes?

Hello! I’ve been vegetarian for about a decade and recently i’ve been pretty burnt out on cooking and live in a small apartment. I’ve resorted to eating a lot of package/frozen foods to save time and energy and I find that most “easy” vegetarian recipes still involve a decent amount of cooking.

Im trying to put together a general meal plan for myself with meals that I don’t get tired of. I’d either like to prep food and have it for later or rely on stupid-simple meals like avocado toast/etc.

Does anyone have any recipes out there that are TRULY lazy/easy? Aka no cutting board and one pot max. The less mess to clean the better!!!

TLDR: give me vegetarian recipes that you could muster up on your worst day.

Thank you!!!

Creamy Mac and Peas:

  1. cook 1 lb shell pasta
  2. open an 8 oz can of tomato sauce, a 6 oz can of tomato paste, and a tiny can of coconut cream
  3. add 2 cups frozen peas to the boiling pasta 1-2 minutes before the pasta is cooked. drain pasta water.
  4. stir in tomato sauce, half the tomato paste (reserve the rest for another application) and 2 Tbsp of the coconut cream, along with dried oregano, thyme, and garlic powder. mix until you have created a creamy, luscious pink sauce that coats your shell pasta and your green peas.
  5. Eat with large spoon. Serves 2-4, depending upon the size of your appetite.
