Veggie meals?

Can I have some more veggie meals, we eat a lot of meat and want to cut down on food bill, we have things like mac and cheese, but I'm struggling to think of other ideas. My husband won't eat lentils but happy to have some more recipe ideas? Thanks

Hi OP, my family like:

Veg lasagne (I like Fay Ripley's recipe)
Mushroom risotto
Chickpea and spinach curry
Roasted vegetable quiche
Mushroom and halloumi burgers
Roasted veg fajitas (peppers, mushrooms, red onion, courgettes)
Frittata with spinach, new potatoes, asparagus and cherry tomatoes
Spinach tagliatelle (Jamie O recipe)
Stir fry veg with noodles and sweet chilli sauce (carrots, baby corn, mangetout, bean sprouts, cashew nuts)
Veg soup with fresh crusty bread
Thai veg curry (Ella recipe)

I mostly eat:

Curry - tonight I’m making a Indian style paneer and pepper one. Often do Thai style ones with tofu (tofoo brand is best).
Pasta - most commonly with creamy garlicky mushrooms
Stir fries - I like to make a satay sort of sauce with peanut butter or a sticky sauce with hoi sin. Usually with tofu.
Veggie chilli - I make it with lots of veg and add veggie mince.
Fajitas - I make with strips of paneer.
Haloumi vegetable bake with cous cous.
Risotto - with mushroom usually, but I like a beetroot one too.
Veggie ramen- the key is too slow cook loads of onions.
Linda Mcartney quarter pounder burgers.

I am a massive meat eater but I made a vegetarian curry the other day with a korma sauce and some extra coconut milk.
I added mushrooms onions peppers and cauliflower and broccoli.
I left the cauliflower and broccoli quite crunchy.
It was delicious and I didn’t even notice the lack of meat
