depending on your budget, replacing your pasta w chickpea pasta can be a great way to get more protein bc you’re just cooking noodles & butter (standard sad kid fare) but it’s packed full of chickpea goodness

Obviously major shoutout to lentils but that’s been said. Creamy protein pasta is like my version of boxed mac and cheese during the week. Blend up silken or soft tofu with nutritional yeast and miso + pepper + salted pasta water and mix with chickpea pasta for extra protein. Wilt some spinach in there and you‘re set.

It can be easy, cheap, and makes good leftovers. Sometimes I will just doctor up a jar-sauce and add fresh basil and parm and it is pretty good for the amount of effort. If I feel like I need more protein or veggies it is easy to add. I recently tried a recipe that has anchovies, green olives, garlic, capers, cherry tomatoes, and lots of olive oil. I liked it a lot, but realize it is not for everyone.

Keep some noodles on hand (rigatoni). you can make a sauce with anything. Last night it was frozen chicken broth + frozen "mediterranean" vegetables. Simmered until soft with garlic, blend until smooth, toss with butter and pargm. when i'm really in a pickle its ritz crackers with peanut butter. unfortunately most nights it is a spinach smoothie

the work matters. fall in love with the work—the mundane, the exhaustive, doubling back, looking closer. the accolades come or they don’t but the work itself is worth loving
