I hate to come off as a snarky purist, but there isn't need to go to weird italofusion combinations if you want variable, vegetable heavy diet based around rice, pasta, or legumes. In South Italy we cook vegetable and olive oil based sauces in the time it takes to boil water and cook the pasta. Then you mix these together while finishing the cooking of the drained pasta. Every single vegetable is fair game. You just need a good source of fat, which is served by olive oil. The pasta or lentil base gives you protein enough that you only seek meat or heavier protein sources every fourth meal or so.
