Halp! What should I make for dinner tomorrow?

[rivenwanderer]

I cook dinner once a week for my housemates--6 people total counting myself. Usually another housemate and I work together, but she'll be out of town and I'm having a hard time coming up with a plan for making dinner on my own. What's a good one or two-dish (ETA: vegetarian!) meal for 6 that doesn't take more than a couple of hours to put together?

Tell me five ingredients you have on hand.

I'll take a look when I get home!

In addition to the staples like flour, beans, cheese, pasta, here are some highlights from the recent farmshare:
-tomatoes
-leafy things
-sweet potatoes
-delicata squash
-bell peppers

[wolfie74]

Slice the squash in half, carve out the seeds and spray the cut side with baking spray. Place them cut side down on a baking sheet and bake till soft (30-40 minutes) in a pre-heated 450 deg oven.

While they are baking, chop tomatoes, leafy things (collards?), and bell peppers. Sautee those with a little oil, season with salt and pepper. White beans would be great if you have them, if not it's all good. Mix the beans with the sauteed veggies.

When squash are done flip them over and divide out your bean/veg mixture into each one. You could add cheese at this point to give yourself a little more protein. If you do, return it to the oven to melt it for a little bit. Serve.

What wolfie74 said.

for the greens, instead of salt and pepper I would use some vegetable bouillon and some 5 spice powder. And I'd only add the beans, if I had them hanging around canned so they'd be soft enough.

here is a similar recipe for greens and beans stuffed into delicata
