dghggh asked:
So I need to cook dinner for the boyfriend’s parents. I only cook vegetarian (so that means a lot of italian) but the mother will not eat anything with tomatoes or tomato sauce in it. Also, I am not an experienced cook so I can’t flambe stuff or do other difficult cooking things. Any super impressive (yet easy) vegetarian dinner ideas?

Yup.
You can simply do a fettucini alfredo. No chicken/shrimp required. Plus it’s not spaghetti:
12 ounces fettuccini
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Fresh black pepper
Directions
Cook the noodles according to package directions, omitting the salt. Drain well and return to the cooking pot.
In a food processor or blender, combine ricotta cheese, yogurt, Romano cheese, and butter. Add the cheese mixture to the cooked fettuccini and toss to coat. Add fresh ground black pepper. Serve warm and sprinkle with remaining Romano and more ground pepper.

Serve with a caesar salad. Simply go to the store, they should have a kit to make caesar salad.
Garlic bread is also an option as well.
For desert, do something fruity and refreshing, like rasberry or strawberry ice cream with whipped cream and almonds on top.

Get a pressure cooker, and learn to cook dahl (beans), and some rice.
With a pressure cooker, it is very fast and easy.
