Help me broaden my cooking horizons!

My housemate and I work together to make dinner for the whole house (6 people) once a week. We have a farm share at my house, so on Monday (the day before we cook), we look in the fridge and see what veggies are around, and decide what to make.

So far, we've come up with a few basic staples. These are:
-quiche
-lasagna
-pasta with sautéed vegetables and cheese
-stir-fry with tofu and noodles
-soup
-quesadillas with sautéed vegetables

Since we only cook once a week, it's not too bad to have a limited range of things, and we're getting pretty efficient with them (which is good, since it means I don't have to leave work as early). But I'd like a little more variety, so: what are some other good dishes that can be adapted for whatever vegetables one happens to have around?

Oh, also--this is a vegetarian kitchen, so no meat!

Looking for VeryVeryVery quick and easy dessert pasta

Hi, all - I had the sudden urge last night to make some kind of quick dessert pasta, but all the recipes I found online were either some variation on kugel, or ingredient-intensive enough that I would have had to go to the store (which I was feeling too lazy to do.) I gave up on the idea eventually, but I thought I'd turn to you all here for advice. Any suggestions? I'm really just looking for one or two (or maybe three) ingredients that I could just toss vermicelli or spaghetti or the like in, with no more involvement or complication, really, than that.

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
