Ingredients
- 2 large red onions, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 1 x 300g pack frozen Quorn mince
- 1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes
- 1 x 500g pack tomato passata
- 2tsp chopped fresh thyme
- 1tsp vegetable stock powder
- 250g no pre-cook lasagne verde sheets
For the topping:
- 600ml semi-skimmed milk
- 2tsp English mustard powder
- 1tbsp cornflour
- 30g low-fat vegetarian hard cheese, grated
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.
- Heat a large non-stick pan, and dry-fry the onions and garlic until soft. Add the Quorn mince, and cook until brown.
- Add the remaining ingredients and simmer gently for 20 mins to allow the flavours to combine while you make the topping.

- Spoon a thin layer of the sauce into an ovenproof dish. Cover with a layer of lasagne sheets (don't overlap them, as they will expand during cooking). Continue layering the Quorn sauce and pasta sheets.
- Cover the top with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with the grated cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 35-40 mins until brown.

the most delicious lasagne ever tasted and has become a firm family fav! However, we make our own cheese sauce using lactofree milk & cheese and wheat & gluten free flour. We also substitute the thyme with Basil and ofc use wheat & gluten free lasagne sheets.
