I need your help comrades!

I am moving on Saturday. And I need some ways to make meals. I don't care which culture, the more diverse the better.

Here are some factors I kinda need:

not too expensive to make (money and time)
not a weird consistency like salad (sensory issues of autism) bread or steak has the perfect consistency
I don't taste that well, so the taste should be rather intense (like steak)
vegetarian (because I think vegan will be too hard with my requirements) if it isn't vegetarian I also take recepies but it would be better if it would be (so not stake after all)

Here are examples kind of like this:

pizza
pasta with tomato sauce
garlic bread

pls pls reccomend 🥺

EDIT: Please also drop non vegitarian options, if you cant think of vegitarian stuff. My requirements are so many, it will be difficult to find something that will meet all requirements.

Um, if you like bell pepper and onion I can recommend coca de trampó. It's like pizza a lot more oily and takes longer to bake. My bastardized version of the recipe is:

Chop 2 medium sized bell peppers (red and green or whatever you like), an onion and a medium tomato. You can chop them to strips or squares. Put everything in a bowl.
Add a bit of oil (should be olive oil but if it's too expensive just use seed oil), enough to soak everything. Add sweet paprika. Add crushed tomato (like a cup or cup and a half, I normally add a whole can which is like 400g).
Mix that evenly.
While that macerates, make the dough by adding half a cup of oil and a cup of water.
Add flour while stirring so as to avoid lumps, until the dough doesn't stick to the bowl.
Spread the dough in an oven plate (if you have a small oven like me you can make two)
Put that in the oven for like 10 minutes at 200°C, or until it you see the surface "solidify".
Take out the plate and spread the vegetables over the base.
Put everything back in the oven for like 30-40 minutes depending on how hard you like the dough to be.

Hey, it may be oily as hell but it's so fucking good

Unrelated to above: you should also have frozen vegetables in the freezer so that you can cook them quickly whenever you need. Also have cans/jars at hand for the same reason. If you cook something that takes long, go all in and make at least a kilo so you can store for later in the freezer. Get glass tupperware.
