Ideas for a good but simple meal(s)? Vegetarian.

I'm not really a cook. I can make spag bol with a jar, chucking in a few other things.. Put things in the oven.

I've started trying to make more things, one I thought was out of my depth was a pie from scratch (thanks Hairy Bikers), although I did have a little bit of help when things got a bit stressful with loads of stuff being done at once :p.

I've also tried a couple of things from a River Cottage Veg book (My woman recently became vegetarian with the exception of fish for now, she's working on it). Simple stuff like a tart with puff pastry, however one other thing gave me a headache, needing to use multiple saucepans at once. Do they seriously expect people to have more than 4 saucepans? I got stressed here!

TL;DR
To the point.
I want some ideas or recipes of some new things to try.
I myself love meat but my girlfriend is a vegetarian and keeping up with it well, except fish for now.

I'm not a fussy eater so nearly anything could be tried.
My women loves cheese (nearly an addiction) so cheese based meals could be good, although maybe good to broaden our horizons as cheese is nearly daily.
Nothing too hard, I'm not amazing at juggling pans yet.
Maybe some meals that can have meat versions at the same time as having a variation my girl can eat?

Any ideas? Anyone got anything they'd like to share that might fit the bill? I know its quite a wide spec and could be anything but a start would be good!

The planning is something I never really thought of! Will give it a go next time I do a proper meal, (Currently trying baking thanks to the Jonny69 thread).

The Very Vegetarian box looks interesting, the girlfriend seemed interested :).

Cheers for all the ideas, they should mostly be attempted at some point once I get through the baking phase :)
