I tend to have a stockpile of tinned chopped tomatoes, one of those 3KG bags of pasta, rice and random tinned beans, onions and peppers in the fridge.
This leads to a lot of bolognese type sauces but is dead quick, especially if you have an inexplicably large collection of herbs and spices (both green ones and assorted things the man in the import food shop tells me to try).
The other thing I try to have is a fair quantity of noodles, coconut milk and a bag of chopped stir fry veg in the freezer. If you're not using meat, that takes ten minutes and give leftovers.
I try to freeze soups as well, especially in winter. I used to include frozen peas in the list, but they make the boy cry. And sometimes I theive from the maternal freezer-food stockpile, because I will never ever make stew but I love eating it.
