2. "I like cooking, too, but I haven't got much time to help her." - 'Time' is an uncountable noun, and 'much' is used with uncountable nouns.
3. "She often uses a lot of fruit and vegetables." - 'Fruit and vegetables' are countable nouns, so 'a lot of' is appropriate.
4. "Tonight, she wants to make pasta for dinner, but there isn't much pasta..." - 'Pasta' is generally considered uncountable, so 'much' is correct.
5. "...and there aren't many tomatoes in the fridge." - 'Tomatoes' is a countable noun, so 'many' is correct.
