Okay, this is probably pretty picky but I thought I'd take a stab. I'm looking for some different kind of food (I eat a lot of pasta) that's really easy/quick to make. I don't like fish, onions, peppers, avocados or super spicy stuff. I'm also a little weird about meat (OCD-type thing) so I tend to avoid anything with raw chicken or cow-meat (I will eat it pre-cooked). I'm also not the most adventurous sort either.

Anyone have any ideas?

Do you like soups? Do you dislike all onions, including ones combined within a dish?

I do like soups but I am interested in more substantial meals (I know a soup definitely counts but it sometimes feel like an appetizer for me - I'd still be interested in suggestions though!)

I don't dislike all onions. I don't mind the taste - it's more the consistency for me. I like onion rings and onions in a pot roast or a chicken noodle soup but I dislike them on pizza and in cold pasta or in sloppy joes and sandwiches. Crunchy or stringy isn't my thing, I guess. :)

If you're interested in introducing a big variety of veggies/meats into your life, and you want something easy, I think soup is a good way to go! I totally understand the "not very substantial" thing.

If you can take 30 mins-1 hour to chop up vegetables and meats, saute onions, and throw anything into the pot that you want and let it simmer for a few hours, it's really a great meal that is perfect for winter. It also works for crockpots. I prepare a thick, hearty stew on Sunday, put it in the fridge, and have it the rest of the week when I get home.

My quick and easy soup option that you reminded me of:

Any bag of frozen vegetables.
Chopped onion (I usually use frozen).
Chicken stock.

Fill a saucepan with vegetables (including onion). Pour in stock. bring to the boil and simmer until vegies are soft.
Put the whole lot, stock and all, in a blender.

Thick vegetable soup.

I usually make this out of broccoli and cauliflower mix, with some fresh spinach cooked in it. It is very green.

Will you eat eggs? Lots of good egg and omelette recipes.

I do eat eggs! Do you have any suggestions (either for recipes or how to make an omelette)?

NAYRT

I cut salami in tiny bits and fry them in a pan, mash feta cheese in a bowl and mix that with a couple of eggs, then pour it over the salami in the pan and after a while turn it over like any other omelette.

NAYRT, but when my chickens were laying a ton I used to make frittatas all the time, which is whatever veggies (and maybe precooked meat in your case) you like, cooked in a little oil or butter or blanched or steamed, then put in a cast iron or oven-safe skillet that's been greased. If you cooked the veggies in the skillet with oil or butter you might not have to add anymore fat to the pan; if you like bacon you could cook some and use some of the fat to cook the veggies and eggs in, or if cooking bacon grosses you out, you could use the pre-cooked stuff. Beat enough eggs to mostly cover the veggies (I use a little 6 inch cast iron skillet, which holds 3 eggs and maybe a cup of mixed veggies pretty well) with some salt and maybe chopped herbs and pour over the veggies. Put over medium heat on a burner and cook until the egg is partly set but maybe wobbly in the middle, then stick under the broiler (or if you want you can stick the just-heated pan full of veggies and eggs in a 350° F oven so you don't have to fuss with it, although it might take longer) until it sets. You can add cheese and things, too, basically anything you like with eggs. I use a lot of onions and peppers, but mushrooms and garlic, or tomatoes, or potatoes or sweet potatoes or sauteed greens (leftover cooked veggies work fine) are good too.

Quinoa is amazing! You cook it pretty much like rice except with olive oil (if you want), but it's tons more flavorful and filling and is actually really high in protein for a grain.

You can also add any seasonings you like right into the pot at the beginning. The simplest, and one of my favorites, is to simply dump a 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of pasta sauce in with the water :) And it goes really well with vegetables.

Takes maybe 20 minutes, 15 of that just cooking with the lid on with no tending required, to make.

Thanks! I'll look into this. Do you use red or white pasta sauce? Is a tablespoon sauce for a cup of quinoa or a different measurement?

I use red pasta sauce, but I'm sure any sauce of similar intensity will work the same, just experiment. I use the tablespoon for one serving for myself, which is 1/3rd to 1/2 of a cup, so yeah adjust that depending on how much you're making, but also you might like more/less sauce flavor than I do so there's no set rule!

Rice can pretty much substitute for pasta in any dish. Get some pre-cooked chicken and make sandwiches or chicken salad out of it? On that note, salads! You can stick anything you want in a salad for flavor or texture.

You can't really win with pre-cooked meats. Have you attempted using disposable gloves to handle raw meat? One of the easiest meals is chicken rubbed (or idk, drizzled from above probably works well enough) with a little olive oil, and sprinkled with some spices. Bake it off, then serve it with whatever your favorite vegetables are. Or even make a bed of root veg, put your chicken on top, roast that. I ate something like this more than every other week in college. Way more economical than pre-cooked food.

I'd recommend starting someone who hasn't cooked meat off with something that won't be dangerous if undercooked, actually. And there's nothing wrong with pre-cooked meat. It may not be the best ever, but OP was looking for quick and easy, not 5 star gourmet.

Nearly all meat has a risk if it's undercooked, though. Even beef, because there's a risk of contamination via improper handling. Chicken is a good choice because it's usually relatively cheap and easy. You can open up a package of them, dump them onto an oiled baking sheet and shake spices or squirt bbq sauce over it without much handling and then make sure you cook it thoroughly. 400 F for 30-35 minutes. You can go for longer if you don't mind overcooked chicken, but IMO, the flavor and texture suffers.

You can eat beef rare. Chicken, not so much.

You're missing the point. You can eat beef rare, but the risk is not zero. Chicken is more susceptible, but all raw meat can be contaminated with e. coli, etc. through improper handling. Telling a newbie cook to avoid chicken because it's not safe when it's undercooked is silly. If they learn how to cook it to a safe temperature, they'll be fine. How else will they learn how to cook?

Also, people do eat rare/raw chicken. Just not very often because you have to be more careful than you do with beef.

Couscous is quick and can be a base starch for any meat/vegetables you like. Ditto rice.

I'm a pretty simple cook. I get pork roasts and stick them in the crock pot. The crock pot is my friend because you can cook so much and it doesn't necessarily take a lot of time. I've lately been using Tasty on Facebook to get new recipe ideas. There are all sorts of delicious crock pot recipes though and the nice thing about a crock pot is that you'll probably have left overs too (if you eat left overs) so you'll save money.

Do you not handle raw meat at all? My favorite go to for when I'm not feeling like cooking is broiling pork (seasoned with just salt and pepper) and making rice with vegetables. However if you aren't interested in using raw meat than maybe that isn't a good option.

Soups are a good option. Make bread (or buy bread) to go with the soup so that it stays in you longer if you're worried about it not filling you up.

Homemade pizza could be a good option as well. You don't have to stick with the traditional either. I made a pesto tomato pizza throughout the summer for example.

I don't know if I was very helpful.

Are you okay with pork, or is it just meats in general?

A great and super-easy veggie, though: cauliflower and halved brussels sprouts, toss with olive oil/lemon juice/thyme/salt/pepper, plop them on a greased baking sheet, and roast them for 25-30 minutes. Fucking glorious.
