Spaghetti carbonara is my go-to tired, hungry, need a quick satisfying meal in a pinch with pantry staples. If I haven't shopped. Otherwise, if I have fresh veg, I'll whip up pasta with that or tacos.
No, but if my sides fail, the greens prop dinner up nicely.
I LOVE carbonara, but I never have bacon (or whatever the Italians actually use) in the house. Do you freeze it?

salsa
spinach
roasted peppers
leftover potato anything
ham

Pasta with olive oil, salt and pepper. Maybe toss a veg or two in there raw if I have the time/inclination/supplies.
I also make miso with tofu and sometimes some veggies a fair amount. A tub of miso can just hang out in the fridge for a while, and making the soup is easy.
Both these things pair well with salad. Use olive oil and a vinegar - balsamic or rice - and toss, add salt/pepper.

You mean like what do I always have the makings for so I can just pull them out and cook in a pinch? If so:
Quesadillas (just cheese or with black beans, tomato, cilantro, lime, etc. if I am feeling fancy and we have those things in the house)
Mac and cheese from the box
Ravioli with pesto (always have both things in the freezer)

What are your "emergency" meals? Like when your meal plans fall through (for example, I had unexpected guests last night and there went my leftovers for lunch), what do you make that probably isn't at your regular level of balanced nutrition/flavor, but is great in a pinch?
Here are two "dishes" I make occasionally:
Refried beans spread in a thin layer topped with cheese and broiled till the cheese is brown and nutty-tasting
Salad one of two ways: greens with vinegar and salt, blue cheese, and green olives or greens with just oil (walnut or macadamia) and salt
