Quick veggie lasagne bites made with Quorn mince, mushrooms, ready made cheese sauce, tomato sauce and grated mozzarella. This one is all about the short-cuts, but big flavours.


I do love veggie lasagne and now we've discovered that Violife sell dairy free mozzarella and cheddar that melts really well and tastes good too, I can also make a vegan lasagne that's just as sumptuous.

Lasagne tends to be a dish I make on a Sunday because it takes me ages to make. So many separate components to make. The savoury veggie mince in tomato sauce, the cheese sauce made from scratch, pre-boiling the lasagne sheets a little so they are soft and pliable, grating the mozzarella, then there's the stacking up and baking. It's always worth it, as it tastes so good, but it's good to have a quicker option too.

These lasagne bites are made with Quorn Meat Free Mince, which is a really handy product to have in a veggie freezer. It's great for making chilli, lasagne and bolognaise and the good news is Quorn™ now have a vegan option too (the vegan range doesn't include mince yet, see at end of post for a vegan alternative). For these quick bites I also used ready made cheese sauce from the chilled cabinet at my local supermarket, jarred rich tomato sauce, fresh lasagne sheets (also chilled) and ready grated mozzarella.
