    Folks, welcome to my latest Quorn creation, Quorn pasta bolognese bake!

    I think you're just going to love this tasty quorn recipe.

    Now if you're a subscriber to the blog (details of how to subscribe at the bottom) you'll know that I’ve already created a number of other really popular quorn mince recipes like my homemade quorn burgers.

    We find quorn such a fantastic substitute for beef mince and, as Lynne and I try to eat by our 80:20 rule largely omitting red meat, quorn helps to fill that gap.

    Close up of a casserole dish of cooked quorn pasta bolognese bake covered in melted cheese and just taken out of the oven.

    That being said, please don’t think we’ve anything against red meat at all!

    Not at all!

    It’s just that we choose to have red meat very occasionally, as they do in the Mediterranean.

    The Mediterranean diet being one of the healthiest and proven life prolonging ones there is.

    This is a really easy quorn bolognese bake recipe to make.

    The bolognese sauce is homemade and just delicious! And so much better than a shop bought jar of the same sauce!

    I find the best way to cook quorn mince is to cook it from frozen. So there's no need to defrost it.

    If you want to see how to cook quorn mince then just watch the recipe video included in this post. It's easy!

      Hats off to YOU for doing what makes you happy and not just what other people are doing. That is what drives me crazy--when people think that they need to do a greater distance just out of making a point. Better safe than sorry when it comes to your mentality for something that you love, in my opinion. Have fun and good luck!

      Now, for the food portion. I wonder how this would do with spaghetti squash, because it leeches out so much water. I'm just not a big pasta person. Perhaps I could do have pasta, half spag squash. HERRRRMmmmm

        Thanks Suz, I'm really looking forward to the run on Sunday and I'm off now for my final 10k training run.

        I think that you could easily substitute the spaghetti squash in, and remove / reduce the vegetable stock here to counteract the water leeching from the squash? I'm looking forward to hopefully getting a spiralizer for Christmas so then I can try out such suggestions! ๐Ÿ™‚

        It's a really handy one to have in the freezer too, ideal for when it's the end of the week and you need something to go with a glass of wine ๐Ÿ˜‰

        Thanks Erin, this is definitely comfort eating for stress material! ๐Ÿ™‚

        Yep, slowly getting rid of the "man flu", baby steps, one at a time you know? ๐Ÿ˜†

        I wonder how long you ladies would have just sat in the pub talking about celebrities and the like, if you hadn't had to go and collect the guys from the half marathon? ๐Ÿ˜‰

        I'm checking with Lynne about those dates and I'll get back to confirm one of them for you as soon as possible. But it's definitely happening!

      I'm literally just scouring the internet looking for ways to cook Quorn and I came across this site.
      I made this tonight. I adapted the ingredients to add more seasoning and a little heat (chilli) and it was delicious. Thank you for posting.
