I feel like I make the same things all the time, help me diversify...?!
My husband is very picky, kinda like a kid!. He likes pizza, tacos, pasta(lasagna, manicotti, gnocchi), grilled cheese and tomato, hot dogs and mac and cheese!. I hate making this kind of food because I love to cook especially gourmet!. He doesn't like too many veggies!. I would love some simple dinner ideas (he hates sloppy joes, stuffed peppers, not too many pork products)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Are we married to the same guy!? haha!.!.!.!.!. I have the same issue exactly but I am always trying to cook fast on weeknights!.!.!.
Ive learned he will eat!.!.!. fried chicken salad ( with Tyson chicken strips baked) and Grilled wings
His fav is homemade stuffed chicken with cream cheese and spinach!.
Made calzones the other night that went over well!. He really likes baked chicken!. Which I think is so plain!.

Good luck!.!.!. Food network has a lot of good recipes on there!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Your husband has to learn how to try new things! You say he likes pasta, so try opening him up to some new pasta dish recipes, slowly but surely!.!. and make casseroles where you can hide veggies since you say he doesn't like too many!.!. that's what I do with the kids!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
You should try different kinds of chicken - like with different sauces and add different types of pastas on the side, and a little dish of fruit or salad is always a nice touch :) good luckWww@FoodAQ@Com
